Find tan 30°

​

Answer 1

Answer:

$tan(30) = \frac{A}{B}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The attached triangle

Required

Find tan(30)

Let the side opposite 30 degrees be A and the side adjacent 30 degrees be B

So [using tangent identity]:

$tan(\theta) = \frac{Opposite}{Adjacent}$

This gives:

$tan(30) = \frac{A}{B}$
