Answer: the ratio is tan B = 35/12

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∠B as the reference angle,

BC represents the adjacent side of the right angle triangle.

AC represents the opposite side of the right angle triangle.

To determine m∠B, we would apply

the tangent trigonometric ratio.

Tan θ, = opposite side/adjacent side. Therefore,

Tan B = 35/12
