Question

Identify tanX as a fraction and as a decimal rounded to the nearest hundredth.

The figure shows right triangle X Y Z with right angle Y. The length of leg Z Y is equal to 7 point 2 units. The length of leg Y X is equal to 6 point 4 units. The length of hypotenuse X Z is equal to 9 point 6 units.

Answer 1

The value of tan(X) in fraction is 7.2/6.4 and in decimal is 1.13

The complete question is added as an attachment

From the question, the given parameters are as follows:

Hypotenuse = XZ

Hypotenuse XZ = 9.6

Leg ZY = 7.2

Leg YX = 6.4

The tangent of X is then calculated as:

tan(X) = ZY/YX

Substitute the known values in the above equation

tan(X) = 7.2/6.4

Evaluate the above quotient

tan(X) = 1.125

Approximate the above result

tan(X) = 1.13

Hence, the value of tan(X) in fraction is 7.2/6.4 and in decimal is 1.13

So, the complete parameters are:

Hypotenuse = XZ

Hypotenuse XZ = 9.6

Leg ZY = 7.2

Leg YX = 6.4

tan(X) = 7.2/6.4

tan(X) = 1.13
