Answer 1

From the figure, we immediately have

cos(θ) = 8/17

sin(θ) = 15/17

By definition of tangent,

tan(2θ) = sin(2θ)/cos(2θ)

Recall the double angle identities:

sin(2θ) = 2 sin(θ) cos(θ)

cos(2θ) = cos²(θ) - sin²(θ) = 2 cos²(θ) - 1

Then

tan(2θ) = (2 sin(θ) cos(θ)) / (2 cos²(θ) - 1)

tan(2θ) = (2 × 15/17 × 8/17) / (2 × (8/17)² - 1)

tan(2θ) = -240/161
