Question

timed problem score: 6/10 current time: 95.9 find: tan b the figure is not drawn to scale answer 27/45 36/45 27/36 36/27

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 $B$, the side opposite to $B$ is the side with length $36$ and the side adjacent to $B$ is the side with length $27$.

Step2: Calculate $\tan B$

$\tan B=\frac{36}{27}$.

Answer:

$\frac{36}{27}$
