Question

Find the value of tan M rounded to the nearest hundredth, if necessary.

Answer 1

36.9

Explanation:

Use the formula
`a^2 + b^2 = c^2` to find the length of LK.

40 is the hypothenuse because it is directly across from the right angle.

`a^2 + 24^2 = 40^2`

`a^2` = 32

Tan is opposite over hypothenuse.

Tan M = 36.9
