Answer:
Tan 60 = √3
Step-by-step explanation:
Recall: SOHCAHTOA
Thus,
Tan 60 = Opp/Hyp
From the diagram given,
Opp = YZ = ?
Hypotenuse = XY = 42
Find the length of YZ using Pythagorean Theorem:
YZ = √(42² - 21²) = √1,323
YZ = √(441 × 3) = 21√3
✔️Find Tan(60):
Tan 60 = Opp/Hyp = YZ/XY
Tan 60 = (21√3)/21
Tan 60 = √3
