Final answer:

The value of tan(A) cannot be determined from the given options.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a right triangle ABC, the tangent of angle A is defined as the ratio of the length of the opposite side to the length of the adjacent side.

Therefore, tan(A) = opposite/adjacent.

In this question, the value of tangent (tan(A)) is not directly given. We need more information about the lengths of the sides of the triangle to determine the value of tangent (tan(A)). The options (a), (b), (c), and (d) represent ratios of side lengths, but without the specific values of the sides, we cannot determine the correct answer.

Therefore, the value of tan(A) cannot be determined from the given options.
