Answer:

$\tan(62)=1.875$

Step-by-step explanation:

Label the triangle ABC as shown below.

Given:

AB = 8, BC = 15, AC = 17, m∠ABC = 90°, m∠ACB = 28°, m∠BAC = 62°

The tangent of a given angle is given as the ratio of the opposite side and the adjacent side. The opposite side is the side opposite to the angle. The adjacent side is the other leg of the right angled triangle.

Here, the opposite side to angle A is BC and adjacent side is AB.

Therefore, the tan ratio of angle A is given as:

$\tan A=\frac{BC}{AB}\\\tan (62)=\frac{15}{8}=1.875$

Hence, tan 62 = 1.875.
