Function tangent of an angle in a right triangle equals
- opposite side / adjacent side
- sine of the angle / cosine of the angle
For this reason, all answers choices are correct except the fourth one, which is the cotangent of angle PAB.
So why I now yes when she where it go to get the stuff
Answer: 1/2
Step-by-step explanation: To find out what fraction is greater, notice that the fractions that we're comparing in this problem have different denominators.
When fractions have different denominators, they're called unlike fractions.
To compare unlike fractions, we must first get a common denominator. The common denominator of 2 and 12 will be the least common multiple of 2 and 12 which is 12.
To get a 12 in the denominator of 1/2, we multiply the numerator and the denominator by 6 which gives us 6/12.
Notice that 1/12 already has a 12 in the denominator so now we are comparing like fractions since both of them has a 12 in the denominator.
To compare like fractions, we simply look at the numerators. Since 6 is greater than 1, this means that 6/12 is greater than 1/12.
Therefore, 1/2 is greater than 1/12.
