From the trignometric ratio of right angle triangle :
The ratio for the tangent of any angle of right angle triangle is the ratio of the side Opposite to that angle to the adjacent side of that angle :
[tex]\tan \theta=\frac{Opposite\text{ Side}}{Adjacent\text{ Side}}[/tex]In the given triangle :The side opposite to the angle A is BC and the adjacent side AC
So,
[tex]\begin{gathered} \tan \theta=\frac{Opposite\text{ Side}}{Adjacent\text{ Side}} \\ \tan A=\frac{BC}{AC} \end{gathered}[/tex]In the figure : we have AC = 76, BC = 31 and AB = 82.1
Substitute the value and simplify :
[tex]\begin{gathered} \tan A=\frac{BC}{AC} \\ \tan A=\frac{31}{76} \\ \tan A=0.407 \\ \tan A=0.41 \end{gathered}[/tex]Thus, tan A = 0.41
Now, the side opposite to the angle B is AC and the adjacent side is BC
thus :
[tex]\begin{gathered} \tan \theta=\frac{Opposite\text{ Side}}{Adjacent\text{ Side}} \\ \tan B=\frac{AC}{BC} \end{gathered}[/tex]In the figure : we have AC = 76, BC = 31 and AB = 82.1
Substitute the value and simplify :
[tex]\begin{gathered} \tan B=\frac{AC}{BC} \\ \tan B=\frac{76}{31} \\ \tan B=2.451 \end{gathered}[/tex]tan B = 2.451
Answer :
tanA = 0.41
tanB = 2.45
