Answer:

they might not be the same numbers but you can do it with all of the step-by-step explanations I gave you just with the numbers you have

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangle ABC is a right angle triangle.

From the given right angle triangle,

AB represents the hypotenuse of the right angle triangle.

With m∠A as the reference angle,

AC represents the adjacent side of the right angle triangle.

BC represents the opposite side of the right angle triangle.

To determine tan m∠A, we would apply the tangent trigonometric ratio.

Tan θ = opposite side/adjacent side. Therefore,

Tan A = √32/2 = (√16 × √2)/2

Tan A = (4√2)/2

Tan A = 2√2
