In the given question, it is given that
ramp is 17 feet long, rises 8 feet above the floor, and covers a horizontal distance of 15 feet.
And we have to find the value of tan B.
And tangent of any angle is equal to the ratio of vertical by horizontal. That is
And that's the required missing ratio for tan B .

Answer:
Match each of the trigonometric expressions below with theequivalent non-trigonometric function from the following list.Enter the appropiate letter(A,B, C, D or E)in each blank
A . tan(arcsin(x/8))
B . cos (arsin (x/8))
C. (1/2)sin (2arcsin (x/8))
D . sin ( arctan (x/8))
E. cos (arctan (x/8))
These are the spaces to fill out :
.. ..........x/64 (sqrt(64-x^2))
.............x/sqrt(64+x^2)
.............sqrt(64-x^2)/8
..............x/sqrt(64-x^2)
..............8/sqrt(64+x^2)
A. ........tan(arcsin(x/8)) =......x/sqrt(64-x^2)
B . cos (arsin (x/8)) ....sqrt(64-x^2)/8
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this we have to find the missing sides to each of the triange discribed in prenthesis thus
A we have the sides of the triangle given by x, 8 and or
thus tan(arcsin(x/8)) = =
Therefore ........tan(arcsin(x/8)) =......x/sqrt(64-x^2)
B
Here we have cos = adjacent/hypotenuse where adjacent side is and hypothenuse = 8 we have
/8
B . cos (arsin (x/8)) ....sqrt(64-x^2)/8
