Question

What is the Tan for x

Answer 1

`\tan(X) = (32)/(24)`

Explanation:

`\tan(\theta) = \frac{\textrm{opposite}}{\textrm{adjacent}}`

Plug the given side lengths into the above formula for tangent.

In this case, the opposite side to x is 32, and the adjacent (next-to) side to x is 24. So, we can form the equation:

`\tan(X) = (32)/(24)`
