Answer:

12/5

Explanation:

since we are dealing with the angle at Z, we consider Z also to be the center of a circle.

then 10 is the radius of this circle.

24 is tan Z in this circle with radius 10.

tan Z in the standard circle with radius 1 is simply 1/10 of the tan Z in the circle with radius 10.

so, tan Z = 24/10 = 12/5
