Question

question: find the value of tan l rounded to the nearest hundredth, if necessary. answer: attempt 1 out of 2 tan l =

Explanation:

Step1: Recall tangent ratio formula

The tangent of an angle in a right - triangle is defined as $\tan\theta=\frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}}$. For $\angle L$, the opposite side to $\angle L$ is $JK = 12$ and the adjacent side to $\angle L$ is $LK=5$.

Step2: Calculate $\tan L$

$\tan L=\frac{JK}{LK}=\frac{12}{5}=2.4$

Answer:

$2.4$
