Answer:
[tex]tan(a)=\frac{opposite}{adjacent}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
In a right triangle, the side adjacent angle a is 12, the
hypotenuse is 24.
Angle 'a' is 12
hypotenuse is 24
[tex]sin(a)=\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}[/tex]
[tex]sin(12)=\frac{opposite}{24}[/tex]
opposite side = 24 times sin(12)=5
[tex]cos(a)=\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}[/tex]
[tex]cos(12)=\frac{adjacent}{24}[/tex]
adjacent side = 24 times cos(12)=23.5
[tex]tan(a)=\frac{opposite}{adjacent}[/tex]
[tex]tan(a)=\frac{5}{23.5}[/tex]
