Answer:


\tan A=(10)/(24)=(5)/(12)

Explanation:

The easiest way to remember sine, cosine, and tangent ratios is to use SOH-CAH-TOA as an acronym.

SOH - Sine: Opposite over hypotenuse

CAH - Cosine: Adjacent over hypotenuse

TOA - Tangent: Opposite over adjacent

Note that these are referring to the position of the sides relative to the angle you are looking at. In this case, that is angle A. Since it's tangent, we have:


\tan A=(10)/(24)=(5)/(12)
