Answer ASAP!

Consider right triangle DEF below.
I need to know which two answers to click. Thanks!

Answer 1

A and D

Explanation:

Since tangent is opposite/adjacent,

Tan 40 in this case would be x/3.8 (i used x because we don't know what the value is)

So, you set it up as an algebra problem

Tan40 = x/3.8

Multiply both sides by 3.8

3.8tan40 = x, Option A

And then, angle E is 50 degrees

So tan 50 = 3.8/x

Multiply both sides by x

tan50x = 3.8

Divide both sides by tan50

x= 3.8/tan50

So, A and D are both correct
