Answer 1

15/8
Tan is= opp/adj
To find value of opposite side, you need to do Pythagorean Theorem.
17^2=8^2-x^2. Using algebra, you can solve for x, which in this case is 15.

Answer 2

Answer:

• tan Q = 15 / 8

Step-by-step explanation:

→ tan Q = opposite side / adjacent side = OP / PQ (for reference of Angle Q )

firstly , find side "OP"

• By Pythagoras Theorem

: H² = p² + b²

→ OQ² = OP ² + PQ²

→ 17² = OP²+ 8²

→ 289 = OP² + 64

→ 289 – 64 = OP²

→ 225 = OP²

→ √225 = OP

→ OP = 15

Therefore :

» tan Q = OP / PQ = 15 / 8
