Question

If the sine of an angle equals 2/3, and the cosine of the same angle equals 5/12, what is the tangent of the angle?

Answer 1

2/5

Explanation:

tan = opposite / adjacent

sin = opposite / hypotenuse = 2/3, so opposite is 2 and hypotenuse is 3

cos = adjacent / hypotenuse = 5/12, so adjacent is 5 and hypotenuse is 12

So tan is 2/5
