Question

in class today, we reviewed triangles and trigonometry. in the triangle shown, what is the value of tan x°? note: figure not drawn to scale. 19/26 26/7 1/26 33/7

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the tangent formula

In a right - triangle, \(\tan\theta=\frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}}\). For angle \(x\), the side opposite to \(x\) is \(26\) and the side adjacent to \(x\) is \(7\).

Step2: Calculate \(\tan x\)

Using the formula \(\tan x=\frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}}\), we substitute the values. So, \(\tan x=\frac{26}{7}\)

Answer:

B. \(26/7\)
