Question

For acute triangle XYZ below, can you find the tangent ratio of angle r°?

Answer 1

Tan r = z/y

Explanation:

Tangent = opposite / adjacent

Line XY, which is z, is opposite of angle r.

Line XZ, which is y, is adjacent to angle r.

The equation would be Tan r = z/y.

Answer 2

Answer: No, you can't find the tangent ratio of angle rº because the tangent ratio applies to any right triangle, and it applies to right triangles ONLY.
