Question

Given the diagram below what is the tan 60

Answer 1

Answer:

tan 60 = √3

Step-by-step explanation:

using SOH CAH TOA

tan theta = opposite/adjacent

Let the side opposite  to angle 60 degrees be x

Hence;

tan 30 = 5/x

x = 5/tan 30

x = 5/1/√3

x = 5√3

Get tan 60

tan 60 = 5√3/5

tan 60 = √3
