Question

Find the value of tan A

Answer 1

Answer:

Yellow:  $\frac{8}{15}$

Step-by-step explanation:

tangent = opposite $\div$ adjacent

Opposite A = 16

Adjacent A = 30 (Not 34, since that is the hypotenuse or the longest line in the triangle)

Thus, tan A = $\frac{16}{30} =\frac{8}{15}$

Answer 2

Answer:

8/15

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is  a right triangle

tan theta = opp/ adj

tan A = 16/ 30

tan A = 8/15
