Answer:

A: 3/4

Explanation:

sine is the length of the opposite side / length the hypotenuse side

cosine is the length of the adjacent side / length the hypotenuse side

using what's given:

  • the opposite side has a length of 3
  • the adjacent side has a length of 4
  • the hypotenuse side has a length of 5

Tangent is the ratio between the opposite side length and the adjacent side length (opp/adj). With our givens, this means tan(A) = 3/4. See image for more.
