Question

15 points Right triangle trigonometry

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

take theta as reference angle

tan theta=opposite/adjacent

=15/8

Answer 2

Answer:

option B

Step-by-step explanation:

First find opposite side using Pythagoras theorem:

$17^2 = 8^2 + opposite^2 \\\\opposite^2 = 289 - 64 = 225\\\\opposite = 15$

Therefore,

          $tan \theta = \frac{opposite}{adjacent} = \frac{15}{8}$
