right triangle with vertical leg 7, horizontal leg 14, right angle at the intersection of these legs, and angle ( x^circ ) at the top-left vertex
what is the value of ( \tan x^circ )?
○ 0.45
○ 0.50
○ 0.89
○ 2.00

Explanation:

Step1: Recall tangent definition

In a right triangle, $\tan(\theta) = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}}$ to $\theta$.

Step2: Identify sides for $x^\circ$

For angle $x^\circ$, opposite side is $14$, adjacent side is $7$.

Step3: Calculate $\tan(x^\circ)$

$\tan(x^\circ) = \frac{14}{7} = 2.00$

Answer:

2.00
