For the given triangle, the tan of angle A equals $\frac{3}{4} = 0.75.$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

In the given triangle for angle A, the opposite side has a length of 6 cm, the adjacent side has a length of 8 cm while the hypotenuse of the triangle measures 10 cm. To calculate the tan of angle A we divide the opposite side's length by the adjacent side's length.

$tan A = \frac{oppositeside}{adjacent side}.$

Step 2:

The opposite side's length = 6 cm.

The adjacent side's length = 8 cm.

$tan A = \frac{oppositeside}{adjacent side} = \frac{6}{8} = \frac{3}{4} = 0.75.$

URGENT AND SIMPLE question pls:))) You dont have to do all of it, if you could just give me the equation for this problem, that

If Ann can build the model in 3 hours, then in 1 hour she gets 1/3 of it done. Likewise, if Sam can build the model in 6 hours, then in 1 hour he gets 1/6 of it done. We are looking to find how long it takes when they combine their efforts, so we will add the two together and set it equal to 1/x, x being the number of hours it takes for both of them to get the whole job done. The equation then looks like this: $\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{6}=\frac{1}{x}$ . You will have to find the common denominator to add those fractions, and once you do, cross multiply to solve for x.
