Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that

cos A = adjacent / hypotenuse

sin A = opposite / hypotenuse

Therefore, sin A / cos A =

(opposite / hypotenuse)  / (adjacent / hypotenuse)

= (opposite/hypotenuse) * (hypotenuse / adjacent)

= opposite / adjacent

= tan A

Therefore, tan A = sin A / cos A = y/x

Which figures can be precisely defined by using only undefined terms? Select three options.
love history [14]

This is a pretty bad question but I think the answer they're looking for is

angle

circle

line segment

We define arcs in terms of circles and parallel lines in terms of lines (though not necessarily line segments, so this is a bit of a judgement call).
