Question

practice with trigonometric ratios sp 26
true or false
$\tan(a) = \frac{12}{35}$
true
false

Explanation:

Step1: Recall tangent ratio definition

For an acute angle in a right triangle, $\tan(\theta) = \frac{\text{opposite side}}{\text{adjacent side}}$

Step2: Identify sides for $\angle A$

Opposite side to $\angle A$: $BC = 12$, Adjacent side to $\angle A$: $AC = 35$

Step3: Calculate $\tan(A)$

$\tan(A) = \frac{12}{35}$

Answer:

True
