Question

In ΔOPQ, the measure of ∠Q=90°, PO = 17, QP = 8, and OQ = 15. What ratio represents the tangent of ∠P?

Answer 1

Answer:

15/8

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for tangent of an angle is the ratio of the opposite side length to the adjacent side length in relation to the angle.

In this case,side OQ is opposite to ∠ P and side QP is the adjacent side to ∠ P

tan ∠ P=15/8
