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!

30 and 13

x-y=17 and x+y=43

x=17+y and x=43-y, so 17+y=43-y

so y=13

43-13=30, so x=30 and y=13

(pls this is the last one)Use the image below to find the experimental probability of rolling a number less than 7.

Leni [432]

Answer:

$\frac{6}{7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, the fraction is out of 7 so all the values less than 7 is 1-6. So the probability is going to be $\frac{6}{7}$

Hope this helps.

Vic is standing on the ground at a point directly south of the base of the CN Tower and can see the top when looking at an angle

Sindrei [870]

The angle of elevation of 61° and 72° with the height of the tower being 553.3 m. gives Vic's distance from Dan as approximately 356 meters.

<h3>How can the distance between Vic and Dan be calculated?</h3>

Location of Vic relative to the tower = South

Vic's sight angle of elevation to the top of the tower = 61°

Dan's location with respect to the tower = West

Dan's angle of elevation in order to see the top of the tower = 72°

Height of the tower = 553.3m

$tan( \theta) = \frac{opposite}{adjacent}$

$tan( 61 ^{ \circ}) = \frac{553.3}{ Vic' s\: distance \: to \: tower}$

$distance = \frac{553.3}{tan ( {61}^{ \circ} )} = 306.7$

Vic's distance from the tower ≈ 306.7 m

Similarly, we have;

$Dan's distance = \frac{553.3}{tan ( {72}^{ \circ} )} = 179.8$

Dan's distance from the tower ≈ 179.8 m

Given that Vic and Dan are at right angles relative to the tower (Vic is on the south of the tower while Dan is at the west), by Pythagorean theorem, the distance between Vic and Dan <em>d </em>is found as follows;
