Statement: Using the figure, determine the following ratios. ∆RTS is a right triangle with a right angle at

Answer 1

By definition:

$\text{tan(angle)}=\frac{\text{opposite side}}{adjacent\text{ side}}$

From the picture:

$\begin{gathered} \tan (S)=\frac{80}{18}=4.4444 \\ \tan (R)=\frac{18}{80}=0.225 \end{gathered}$
