Answer: 8/15
Step-by-step explanation: Tangent is opposite/adjacent
The hypotenuse, the longest side of a triangle which is 17. The adjacent side is the second longest which is 15. And the opposite is the shortest or the base of a triangle which is 8.
For the future, remember these:
Sin = opposite/hypotenuse
Cos = adjacent/hypotenuse
Tan = opposite/adjacent
Therefore, tan is 8/15.
Hope this helps.
