Question

question 3 of 25 what is the approximate value of tan b? a 7 16 c a. 0.44 b. 0.92 c. 0.40 d. 2.29

Explanation:

Step1: Recall tangent formula

$\tan B=\frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}}$ for angle $B$.

Step2: Identify opposite and adjacent sides

For $\angle B$, the opposite side to $\angle B$ is $AC = 16$ and the adjacent side is $AB=7$.

Step3: Calculate tangent value

$\tan B=\frac{AC}{AB}=\frac{16}{7}\approx2.29$

Answer:

D. 2.29
