Question

15 points
Right triangle trigonometry

Answer 1

option B

Explanation:

First find opposite side using Pythagoras theorem:

`17^2 = 8^2 + opposite^2 \\\\opposite^2 = 289 - 64 = 225\\\\opposite = 15`

Therefore,

`tan \theta = (opposite)/(adjacent) = (15)/(8)`

Answer 2

Explanation:

take theta as reference angle

tan theta=opposite/adjacent

=15/8
