You didn't provide more information regarding triangle but from given options, it seems that triangle has ratio from shortest side to longest side would be 5 : 12 : 13

So 13 would be hypotenuse since it is longest.

Now A cannot be right angle because tangent is not defined at 90°.

Also tan(A) would be ratio of opponent side to adjacent side (think SOH CAH TOA)

So either opposite side would be 5 or 12, and adjacent side would be 12 or 5 respectively.

So the answer is either 5 / 12 or 12 / 5 but only option provided is 12/5 so that would be your answer.

Final answer: 12 / 5

The expression 2x + 50 represents the elevation above sea level, in meters, of a rock climber after x minutes of climbing. What

vova2212 [387]

We let y equal to the elevation above sea level so that the elevation of the rock climber after x minutes of climbing would be:

y = 2x + 50

His initial height can be calculated when x is equal to zero it is when the climber is not yet climbing. Therefore, the rock climber'sinitial height above sea level would be 50 meters.
