Question

If the cos A= 9/41 , what does the tan A equal?

Answer 1

tanA = 40/9

Explanation:

Try to construct a right-angled triangle with it's adjacent side=9 and hypotenuse = 41,

By pyth. theorem, we can get the remaining side (opposite side)

= √(41^2 - 9^2)

= 40

tanA = oppside side/ adjacent side

tanA = 40/9
