Question

If sin ZA = { and cos ZA = }, what is tan ZA?

Answer 1

Answer:

A: 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

sine is the length of the opposite side / length the hypotenuse side

cosine is the length of the adjacent side / length the hypotenuse side

using what's given:

• the opposite side has a length of 3
• the adjacent side has a length of 4
• the hypotenuse side has a length of 5

Tangent is the ratio between the opposite side length and the adjacent side length (opp/adj). With our givens, this means tan(A) = 3/4. See image for more.
