Question

Find the tangent of each angle that is not the right angle. Drag and drop the numbers into the boxes to show the tangent of each angle.

Answer 1

tan D =
`(6)/(11)` or 0.545

tan F =
`(11)/(6)` or 1.833

Explanation:

To find tangent is always
`(opposite)/(adjacent)`

so the opposite of angle D is line EF which is 4.8 and the adjacent side is line ED which is 8.8 so
`(4.8)/(8.8)` which is
`(6)/(11)` or 0.545

The opposite of angle f is line ED which is 8.8 and the adjacent is line EF which is 4.8 so
`(8.8)/(4.8)` is
`(11)/(6)` or 1.833
