Question

Write the tangent ratios for P and Q. The figure is not drawn to scale.

Answer 1

Answer:

tan P = 24/7 and tan Q = 7/24

Step-by-step explanation:

tangent of any angle in a right angle triangle is always represented by

tan x = opposite side/ adjacent side = height / base

from the question we have to write tangent of P and Q.

tan P = QR/PR = 24/7

tan Q = PR / RQ = 7/24

So the answers are tangent ratios for P and Q are 24/7 and 7/24.

Answer 2

The tangent ratio of angle P is 24/7. For angle Q, the tangent ratio is 7/24. To determine the answers, the length of the opposite side of the angle is divided by the length of the adjacent side.
tan (angle) = (opposite/adjacent)
