Complete Question

Given the right triangle(SEE ATTACHED), find tan(α)

Answer:

(A)
`\tan(\alpha)=(24)/(7)`

Explanation:

In the given right triangle,

From Trigonometry, we know that:

`\tan(\alpha)=(Opposite)/(Adjacent)`

We determine the unknown side using Pythagoras theorem.

Let the unknown side be x

`25^2=24^2+x^2\\x^2=25^2-24^2\\x^2=49\\x^2=7^2\\x=7$ units`

Therefore:

`\tan(\alpha)=(24)/(7)`

The correct option is A
