Answer:

Explanation:

This is a right triangle because angle V is 90. Draw out a right triangle and put V at the 90 degree angle. It doesn't matter where you put U or T; you get the same cos value for T regardless of how you place your other 2 angles. The things you need to know are that UT is the hypotenuse of the triangle, side VU is across from angle T, and side TV is across from angle U.

The cos ratio is side adjacent to the reference angle over the hypotenuse.

Our reference angle is T, so we are looking for the side next to T that is NOT the hypotenuse. This side measures 33; the hypotenuse measures 65, so the tangent ratio of T is


tanT=(33)/(65)
