Question

In ΔSTU, the measure of ∠U=90°, SU = 7, UT = 24, and TS = 25. What ratio represents the tangent of ∠T?

Answer 1

24/25

Explanation:

Answer 2

Tan T = 7/24

Explanation:

Firstly, please check attachment to have a picture of the triangle we are solving.

Now, we are concerned with calculating the ratio that represents the tangent of angle T.

Mathematically, the tangent of an angle is the ratio of the length of the opposite to the length of the adjacent.

In this question, our opposite is 7 while the adjacent is 24.

Thus Tan T = 7/24
