Answer:

$tan62^{\circ}=1.875$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Perpendicular side of right triangle =15 units

Base of right triangle =8 units

Hypotenuse of right triangle=17 units

We have to find the value of $tan62^{\circ}$

We know that

$tan\theta=\frac{Perpendicular\;side}{Base}$

Substitute the values then we get

$tan62^{\circ}=\frac{15}{8}=1.875$

Hence, the value of $tan62^{\circ}=1.875$

Check the picture below

in case you want to know how to get who's the adjacent or opposite, notice in the picture, if you put your eye on the angle itself, what you'd be facing is the opposite side, the adjacent is the side touching the angle.

No, she cannot give each person 3/4 because when you divide 5 1/2 by 3/4, you will result in the number 7 1/3. This will not be enough for the 10 people.
