The trigonometric function that can be used to find the value of x is 12 / tan ( 25 ) . The correct values of a and b will be 12 and 25 resp . .
Given :
A right angle triangle , one angle = 25 ° and side opposite given angle = 12 units .
Trigonometric Formula for Tan θ
tan θ = perpendicular / base , tan θ = ( sin θ / cos θ ) , tan θ = ( 1 / cot θ ) .
where θ = 25 , perpendicular = 12 , base = x .
Substituting values in above first formula ,
tan 25 = 12 / x
Therefore , x = 12 / tan ( 25 ) .
Hence , a = 12 and b = 25 .
