Tan = opposite side/adjacent side
So opposite side is 2 and
Adjacent side is 1
2/1

Hi there!

Tangent is a trigonometry ratio, and it is the value of the side opposite the angle over the side adjacent to the angle.

The side that is opposite angle B is side CA which is equal to 2.
The side that is adjacent to angle B is side CB which is equal to 1.

Therefore, the tangent ratio for angle B is 2/1.
(The adjacent side cannot be side BA because it is the hypotenuse.)

Hope this helps!! :)
If there's anything else that I can help you with, please let me know!

What is 18 expressed as a percent?

andriy [413]

Your answer would be 18.00%, because 18 is not a decimal, and you add .00 at the end of it to make it an official percent.

Write an equation of a line parallel to the line y=-2x+8 and passes through the point (-1,-3)

saul85 [17]

Answer: y=–2x–5

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a straight line:

y=mx+c

m must be the same for the two lines to be parallel.

y=mx+c

y=–2x+8 → m=–2

For a new equation:

x=–1, y=–3, m=–2, c=?

y=mx+c → –3=–2×(–1)+c

–3=2+c

c=–5

So:

y=–2x–5

Select 3 expressions that have a sum or difference of 3 /4 .

cupoosta [38]

Answer:

The Three expressions that have a sum or difference of 3 /4 .

B . 11/12 − 1/6

C. 3/5 + 3/20

E . 2/3 + 1/12

Step-by-step explanation:

The Three expressions that have a sum or difference of 3 /4 .

are

B . 11/12 − 1/6

$\dfrac{11}{12}-\dfrac{1}{6}=\dfrac{11}{12}-\dfrac{1\times 2}{6\times 2}\\\\\dfrac{11}{12}-\dfrac{1}{6}=\dfrac{11}{12}-\dfrac{2}{12}=\dfrac{11-2}{12}=\dfrac{9}{12}=\dfrac{3}{4}$

Therefore,

$\dfrac{11}{12}-\dfrac{1}{6}=\dfrac{3}{4}$

C. 3/5 + 3/20

$\dfrac{3}{5}+\dfrac{3}{20}=\dfrac{3\times 4}{5\times 4}+\dfrac{3}{20}\\\\\dfrac{3}{5}+\dfrac{3}{20}=\dfrac{12}{20}+\dfrac{3}{20}=\dfrac{15}{20}=\dfrac{3}{4}$

Therefore,

$\dfrac{3}{5}+\dfrac{3}{20}=\dfrac{3}{4}$

E . 2/3 + 1/12

$\dfrac{2}{3}+\dfrac{1}{12}=\dfrac{2\times 4}{3\times 4}+\dfrac{1}{12}\\\\\dfrac{3}{5}+\dfrac{3}{20}=\dfrac{8+1}{12}=\dfrac{9}{12}=\dfrac{3}{4}$

Therefore,

$\dfrac{2}{3}+\dfrac{1}{12}=\dfrac{3}{4}$
