Question

If sin equals 15/17 then tan?

Answer 1

If sin equals 15/17 then Tan is equal to 15/8

Answer 2

Given:
`sinθ%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B15%7D%7B17%7D` =
`(15)/(17)`

Awnser: tan theta 15/8.

Explanation:

AC = 17

AB = 15

BC = ?

By Pythagoras theorem:

AC² = AB² + BC²

17² = 15² + BC²

289 = 225 + BC²

BC² = 289 – 225

BC² = 64

BC = √64

BC = 8

The value of tanθ = 15/8
