Question

What is the trig ratio for the picture below

Tan X

Answer 1

tan x = perpendicular ÷ base

tan x = 32 / 24

tan x = 4 / 3

Answer 2

Hi there!

`\large\boxed{tanx = 4/3}`

Recall that:

tan Ф = O/A (opposite/adjacent)

From angle x, the opposite side is ZY, and the adjacent side is XY. Therefore:

tan x = ZY/ XY

tan x = 32 / 24

Simplify:

tan x = 4/3.
