Tan=opposite/adjacent. Opposite=6, adjacent=8. Tan=6/8. We can divide both terms by 2 to simplify to tan=3/4

Answer:

tan x = 3/4

Explanation:

The hypotenuse of the triangle is 10 ft.

For angle x, the opposite leg is 6 ft, and the adjacent leg is 8 ft.

tan A = opp/adj

tan x = 6 ft / 8 ft

tan x = 3/4
