Question

WORTH 45 POINTS AND BRAINLIST NO FAKE ANSWERS AND PLAGIARIZING
Ms. Ziolkowski asks her class to write the correct trigonometric function for the triangle shown below.
Two students get into an argument about the correct answer.
Rhianna states that the correct trig function is tan A = 3/4. Christopher insists that the correct trig function is tan C = 4/3. Who is correct? In writing your response, be sure to include the terms opposite side, adjacent side, tangent ratio, and reference angle. Be sure to restate the question and explain your position with at least four sentences.

Answer 1

Answer:

They are both correct

Step-by-step explanation:

tan A = opposite / adjacent = 3/4   >>> A= 36.9 deg

tan C = opposite / adjacent = 4/3   >>> C= 53.1 deg

cheak:

<B+ <A + <C = 180 deg

90 + 36.9 + 53.1 = 180

180 = 180

Answer 2

Answer:

Botn are correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Tan ratio can be obtained by opposite/adjacent

Both students are correct. They have different values only because they have taken different reference angles

Rhianna has taken angle A as the reference angle,

So tanA = opposite/adjacent = BC/AB

tanA = 3/4

Christopher has taken angle C as the reference angle,

So tanC = opposite/adjacent = AB/BC

tanC = 4/3
