Answer:

tan C = 40/9

Explanation:

According to SOH - CAH - TOA, tan = opposite over adjacent.

In the picture, the opposite of tan C is 40 and the adjacent is 9.

So, tan C = 40/9

P.S. - Answer above is also correct.

Hi there!

$\large\boxed{tanC = 40/9}$

tan = O / A, or the opposite side over the adjacent side.

From the diagram, we can see that the opposite side = 40 and the adjacent side = 9, so:

tan C = 40 / 9
