Question

Use the given triangle to fill in the blank.
tan X= ___

Answer 1

2.4

Explanation:

This is a right-angled triangle:

where:
Side XY = hypotenuse

= 13 units

With respect to Angle X:

Side YZ = opposite side

= 12 units

Side XZ = adjacent side

= 5 units

Trigonometric function:

Tan∅=
`(opposite)/(adjacent)`

∴TanX =
`(SideYZ)/(SideXZ)`

=
`(12)/(5)`

= 2.4

Answer 2

Answer:12/5

Explanation:

tan(x)=opposite/adjacent

tan(x)=12/5
