Question

3. Write the tangent of angle Mas a fraction. Then write it as a decimal rounded to the nearest hundredth. tan M=

Answer 1

For this case we can do the following:

`\tan M=(\sin M)/(\cos M)=\frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}}`

For this case the opposite side is 8 and the adjacent is 6 so we got:

`\tan M=(8)/(6)=(4)/(3)`
