Chapter 10, Problem 17CP

To determine

To calculate the ratio of $\tan$

  $A$

Answer to Problem 17CP

I . $\frac{30}{16}$

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

In Right Angle triangle,

  $AB=34$ , $BC=30$ , $AC=16$

In Right Angle triangle, $\tan \theta =\frac{perpendicular}{base}$

Substituting the values of perpendicular and base from the given information

  $\tan A=\frac{BC}{AC}$ , $\tan A=\frac{30}{16}$

Since, perpendicular of $\tan A$ with respect to angle $A$ is $BC$ and $base$ is $AC$ .
