Question

Find the value of the trigonometric ratio. Simplify the ratio if possible.

(Hint: You may need to use some pythagorean theorem first!)

Answer 1

Tan B = 15 / 8

Explanation:

Giveb the triangle :

The hypotenus :

Using Pythagoras rule :

Hypotenus² = 15² + 8²

Hypotenus² = 225 + 64

Hypotenus = 17

Tan B:

Using the trigonometric relation :

Tan B = opposite / Adjacent

Tan B = 15 / 8
