Question

In ΔDEF, the measure of ∠F=90°, DF = 55, FE = 48, and ED = 73. What ratio represents the tangent of ∠D?

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{48}{55}$

Step-by-step explanation:

In problems like this, it always helps to draw a picture.

-> See attached for the picture I drew (not to scale)

    Now, the trigonometric function tangent can be found with opposite / adjacent

    When looking at ∠D, the opposite side if 48 and the adjacent side is 55.

O / A = 48 / 55
