What is the value of tan xº?

what is the value of tan x

This question is incomplete because it lacks the appropriate diagram.

Please find attached to this answer , the appropriate diagram

First option tan x° = 8 ÷6

Step-by-step explanation:

When we solve for angles in a right angled triangle or we are trying to find one if the sides of a right angled triangle, we used trigonometric functions to find our answers. These trigonometric functions include Sine (sin) , Cosine (cos) and Tangent (tan)

Tangent also called short form tan is used when solving problems involving a right angled triangle.

A right angled triangle has 3 sides, the Hypotenuse, the opposite side and the adjacent side.

When we are asked to find the tangent of an angle,

tan = Opposite side / Adjacent side

In the question above, we are asked to find tan x° where x is the angle.

The opposite side = 8cm

The adjacent side = 6cm

Therefore, tan x° = 8cm/6cm = 8cm ÷ 6cm

question:

could we have options?

answer: -1
