Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The least common multiple of {6,8,12} is 24. This can be intuitively figured by noting that any multiple of 12 is a multiple of 6 and that 12 is 1.5x larger than 8. That means we only have so multiple 12 by 2 and 8 by 3 for them to be equal. The GCF of {20,42,72} is 2 as the prime factorization of 20 is 2x2x5 and 42 is 2x3x7. That means even without having to check 72 (which is clearly even so 2 is a factor), we know that 2 is the greatest common factor that they could share. So X/Y = 24/2 = 12

Given right triangle ABC, what is the value of tan(A)?

Angelina_Jolie [31]

You didn't provide more information regarding triangle but from given options, it seems that triangle has ratio from shortest side to longest side would be 5 : 12 : 13

So 13 would be hypotenuse since it is longest.

Now A cannot be right angle because tangent is not defined at 90°.

Also tan(A) would be ratio of opponent side to adjacent side (think SOH CAH TOA)

So either opposite side would be 5 or 12, and adjacent side would be 12 or 5 respectively.

So the answer is either 5 / 12 or 12 / 5 but only option provided is 12/5 so that would be your answer.

Final answer: 12 / 5
