If you imagine it like the picture below, you could use the pythagorean theorem to solve for x
Answer:
look at the picture i have sent
Tangent Θ = opposite / adjacent
AB = short leg = opposite = 12
AC = long leg = adjacent = 5
BC = hypotenuse = 13
tangent Θ = 12/5 ⇒⇒⇒ this is in ratio form
tanΘ = 2.4 ⇒⇒⇒ this is in decimal form
Independent variable: the variable that affects the dependent variable and creates a change
Dependent variable: depends on the independent variable
1. Independent variable: John’s age
