Question

Determine the value of the trigonometric ratio.

Answer 1

Given,

The measure of side YZ is 21.

The measure of side XY is 20.

The measure of side XZ is 29.

Required:

The value of tanX.

The trigonometric ratio is calculated as,

`tan\theta=\frac{side\text{ opposite to }\theta}{side\text{ adjacent of }\theta}`

Substituting the values,

`\begin{gathered} tanX=(YZ)/(XY) \\ tanX=(21)/(20) \end{gathered}`

ence, the value of tanX is 21/290.
