Answer:

24/7

Explanation:

In a right triangle, the tan of an angle is given by the ratio:

Opposite side/Adjacent side relative to the angle

Here the side opposite to ∠T = RS , side adjacent to ∠T = ST

So the ratio is RS/ST

We know RS but we have to compute ST for the Pythagorean theorem for right triangles

Give a hypotenuse h and one of the sides a, the other side b is given by the formula

b = √(h^2 - a^2)\\\\b = √(50^2 - 48^2)\\\\= √(2500 - 2,304)\\\\=√(196)\\\\= 14

So tan(∠T) = 48/14 = 24/7
