Question

find the tangent of ∠x.
simplify your answer and write it as a proper fraction, improper fraction, or whole number.
tan(x) =

Explanation:

Step1: Recall tangent definition

In a right triangle, $\tan(\theta) = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}}$ to $\theta$.

Step2: Identify sides for $\angle X$

For $\angle X$, opposite side is $WV = 4$, adjacent side is $XV = 3$.

Step3: Calculate $\tan(X)$

$\tan(X) = \frac{WV}{XV} = \frac{4}{3}$

Answer:

$\frac{4}{3}$
