Question

question 5 of 33 the ratio $\frac{opposite}{adjacent}$ describes which function? a. tangent b. sine c. secant d. cosine

Explanation:

In right - triangle trigonometry, the tangent of an acute angle in a right triangle is defined as the ratio of the length of the side opposite the angle to the length of the side adjacent to the angle. The sine is the ratio of the opposite side to the hypotenuse, the secant is the ratio of the hypotenuse to the adjacent side, and the cosine is the ratio of the adjacent side to the hypotenuse.

Answer:

A. Tangent
