Question

express tan p as a fraction in simplest terms.
answer attempt 1 out of 5
tan p =

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the tangent ratio formula

In a right - triangle, \(\tan\theta=\frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}}\). For \(\angle P\), the side opposite to \(\angle P\) is \(QR = 15\), and the side adjacent to \(\angle P\) is \(QP=29\).

Step2: Apply the formula

\(\tan P=\frac{QR}{QP}\)

Answer:

\(\frac{15}{29}\)
