It should be A, it’s the only answer that gives all the available choices or options he could get
Answer & Step-by-step explanation:
For this problem, we will be using the tangent trig ratio because we are dealing with the opposite side and the adjacent side of the triangle. Although cosine may be a good ratio to use as well, it is not the best ratio to use because if you were to use the cosine ratio, you will have more steps to complete in order to solve the problem. Plus, we are not dealing with the hypotenuse side of the triangle. Therefore, it is best to use the tangent ratio because it is more efficient and it corresponds to the side lengths we are using.
On the next page, we are given a Venn Diagram. We are asked to tell the difference between finding the angle and finding the side. Then, we are asked to find the similarity between them.
When solving for the unknown side, you have to flip the equation because one of the sides will be known as a variable.
When solving for the unknown angle, you have to use the inverse of the trig ratio that you are using for that problem.
The similarity between the two is that they will always use one of the trig ratios.
They answer would have to be 17+0=17
