Question

what is r ÷ p equal to?
○ tan y°
○ sin y°
○ tan x°
○ sin x°

Explanation:

Step1: Recall tangent formula

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

Step2: Identify opposite and adjacent for angle $y$

For angle $y$, the opposite side is $r$ and the adjacent side is $p$. So, $\tan y^{\circ}=\frac{r}{p}$.

Answer:

$\tan y^{\circ}$
