Answer 1

tan(<G) =
`(HI)/(GI)`

Explanation:

Given:

Right triangle ∆GHI,

Required:

Equivalent of tan(<G)

SOLUTION:

Recall the acronym for trigonometric ratios of angles in a right triangle: SOHCAHTOA.

Thus, the TOA in the acronym above stands for:

Tan(θ) = side opposite to θ ÷ side adjacent to θ

Where,

θ is the angle of interest = <G

Opposite side = HI

Adjacent side = GI

The equivalent of tan(<G) =
`(HI)/(GI)`
