Question

solve for x.
set up the function,
using tangent.
( \tan ( square ) = \frac { square } { square } )

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the tangent function formula

The formula for the tangent of an angle in a right - triangle is \(\tan(\theta)=\frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}}\).

Step2: Identify the opposite and adjacent sides with respect to angle \(x\)

For angle \(x\), the opposite side is \(6\) and the adjacent side is \(8\).

Answer:

\(\tan(x)=\frac{6}{8}\)
