Question

OB. 1OC.If X = 24 inches, Y = 45 inches, and Z= 51 inches, what is the tangent of ZA?OA. 19715NOD. 1B

Answer 1

Given that

We have a right-angled triangle and have to find angle A's tangent.

Step-by-step explanation -

The triangle is shown as

Here we have,

X = 24 inches

Y = 45 inches

Z = 51 inches

Then, the tangent of angle A will be

`\begin{gathered} The\text{ formula for the tangent is } \\ tan=(Perpendicular)/(Base) \\ \\ tan=(P)/(B) \\ For\text{ angle A thevalues are, P = 45 and B = 24} \\ Then, \\ tanA=(45)/(24) \\ \\ tanA=(15)/(8) \end{gathered}`

So the correct option is B.

Final answer -

Therefore the final answer is 15/8
