PLEASE HELP ASAP!!! CORRECT ANSWER ONLY PLEASE!!!

Find the tangent of ∠V.

Write your answer as an integer or as a decimal rounded to the nearest hundredth.

tan(V) =

Answer 1

Answer:
`tan(V)=2.92`

Explanation:

For this exercise you need to remember the following Trigonometric Identity:

`tan\alpha =(opposite)/(adjacent)`

You can observe in the figure attached that the given triangle UVW is a Right triangle, because it has an angle that measures 90 degrees.

So, you can identify in the figure that:

`\alpha =V\\\\opposite=UW=35\\\\adjacent=VW=12`

Knowing these values, you can substitute them into
`tan\alpha =(opposite)/(adjacent)`:

`tan(V)=(35)/(12)`

Now you must evaluate:

`tan(V)=2.916`

Finally, rounded it to the nearest hundreth, you get:

`tan(V)=2.92`
