Answer:
tan A= 8/15
Step-by-step explanation:
- draw triangle where A and B are legs and C is hypotenuse
- A=8 and C=17, meaning that you need to find B by using Pythagorean theorem (a^2+b^2=c^2)
- 8^2+b^2=17^2
- 64+b^2=289
- b^2=225
6. [tex]\sqrt{b^2} =\sqrt{225}[/tex]
7. b=15
8. tan= opposite/adjacent
9. tan A=8/15
