Answer:
tan A = .3429
Step-by-step explanation:
Tangent = Opposite over Adjacent
The opposite of ∠A = 12 and the adjacent = 35
so tan A = 12/35 which equals .3428571492
The question asks us to round to four decimal places
Hence, the answer is .3429
Your answer is C. Think of the x axis as the ground.

Answer:
21 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Call the triangle ABC, with the right angle at B, the hypotenuse AC=25, and the given leg AB=10. The altitude to the hypotenuse can be BD. Since the "other leg" is BC, we believe the question is asking for the length of DC.
The right triangles formed by the altitude are all similar to the original. That means ...
AD/AB = AB/AC . . . . . . ratio of short side to hypotenuse is a constant
Multiplying by AB and substituting the given numbers, we get ...
AD = AB²/AC = 10²/25
AD = 4
Then the segment DC is ...
DC = AC -AD = 25 -4
DC = 21 . . . . . centimeters
