Question

Math help (Tan) + brainy

Answer 1

Tan = opposite / adjacent
tan 74 = 24/7

Answer 2

A trigonometric ratio is a ratio of the measures of two sides of a right triangle. 

$\text{Tangent( A )} = \dfrac{\text{length of side opposite}}{\text{length of side adjacent}}$ 

We need to find tan(74°), so just plug in the numbers in the formula  

$\text{Tangent( A )} = \dfrac{\text{length of side opposite}}{\text{length of side adjacent}}$ 

$\text{Tangent( A )} = \dfrac{\text{ opposite(24)}}{\text{adjacent(7)}}$ 

Correct answer = 7
