Question

The tangent ratio is the ratio of the side _____ the acute angle over the side ______ to the acute angle.opposite, adjacentopposite, hypotenuseadjacent, hypotenuseadjacent, opposite

Answer 1

For the trigonometric ratios, the tangent of the acute angle of a right triangle is defined as the quotient between the opposite and adjacent sides:

`\tan \theta=(opposite)/(adjacent)`

Where

"θ" represents the angle

"opposite" indicates the side across the angle

"adjacent" indicates the side next to the angle

The correct option is the first one, "opposite, adjacent"
