Question

Find tan a Picture included

Answer 1

5/12

Explanation:

We know its a right angled triangle because of phythogorean theorem,

h^2=p^2+b^2

Take angle A as reference,

13^2=12^2+5^2

or,169=144+25

169=169

Now,

We know,

Tanx=p/b

As we took angle A as reference,

p=5

b=12

h=13

Put that in tanx=p/b

We get,

tanx=p/b=5/12

Answer 2

Explanation:

`tan \ A = (opposite \ side)/(adjacent \ side)\\\\tan \ A = (5)/(12)`
