Question

Find tan A for the triangle below.

Answer 1

Tangent is the opposite divided by the adjacent.
Tan A = 12/21
Tan A = 0.5714
The answer is D.

Answer 2

Answer:

Option (d) is correct.

$\tan A=0.5714$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A right angled triangle with given dimensions.

We have to find the value of  $\tan A$

Consider the given right angled triangle.

Using trigonometric ratio,

The tangent of angle is the ratio of perpendicular to the base.

Mathematically written as   $\tan\theta=\frac{Perpendicular}{base}$

For the given triangle

$\theta=A$ , base = 21 and perpendicular = 12

Substitute, we have,

$\tan A=\frac{12}{21}$

Simplify, we have,

$\tan A=0.5714$

Option (d) is correct.
