Question

Given sin x = 7/25 and cos x = 24/25 what is the ratio for tan x

Answer 1

TanX = SinX/CosX

TanX = 7/25 ÷ 24/25

Tanx = 7/25 * 25/24

TanX = 7/24...

Answer 2

Answer:

The ratio for tan x is:

                   $\dfrac{7}{24}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a value of the sine trignometric function as:

     $\sin x=\dfrac{7}{25}$

and the cosine trignometric function is given by:

   $\cos x=\dfrac{24}{25}$

We are asked to find the value of the tangent function.

We know that the tangent trignometric function is given by the formula:

$\tan x=\dfrac{\sin x}{\cos x}$

Hence, by putting the value of sine and cosine function in the formula we get:

$\tan x=\dfrac{\dfrac{7}{25}}{\dfrac{24}{25}}\\\\\\i.e.\\\\\\\tan x=\dfrac{7}{24}$
