Question

Use the triangle shown to find the ratios.

cos(A) =

tan(C) =

Triangle A B C is shown. Angle A B C is a right angle. The length of A B is 10 feet, the length of C B is 24 feet, and the length of hypotenuse A C is 26 feet.

Answer 1

Cos(A) = 5/13 or 10/26

Tan(C) = 5/12 or 10/24

Explanation:

I did it on edge :)

Answer 2

cos (A) =5/13

tan (C) =5/12

Explanation:

The triangle for the problem is produced and attached.

cos (A)=Adjacent/Hypotenuse

cos (A) = 10/26 =5/13

Similarly,

tan (C)=Opposite/Adjacent

tan (C)=10/24 =5/12
