Question

5/20 give the ratio for tan x opp/adj adj/hyp adj/opp opp/hyp

Explanation:

Step1: Recall trigonometric ratios

In a right - triangle, for an acute angle \(x\), \(\tan x=\frac{\text{opposite side}}{\text{adjacent side}}\) (by the definition of the tangent function in trigonometry).

So the ratio for \(\tan x\) is \(\text{Opp/Adj}\) (where Opp represents the length of the side opposite to the angle \(x\) and Adj represents the length of the side adjacent to the angle \(x\)).

Answer:

A. Opp/Adj
