Question

In the Diagram, rectangle ABCD is split in half by like AC. What is the value of tan X?

A. 3/4
B. 4/5
C. 3/5
D. 5/4
E. 4/3

Answer 1

The answer is E)4/3

That is because tangent X = a/b

Since this is a rectangle, the parallel sides are equal.

In this case, a=4, B=3, and C=5.

So, tanX = 4/3

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

The value of tan X will be calculated through:

tan x = opposite side/ adjacent side

As for the diagram, opposite side is side AD which is 4 and for the adjacent side is side DC which is 3.

So, the correct answer would be option E which is 4/3. I hope this helps.
