Question

In ΔQRS, the measure of ∠S=90°, QS = 12, RQ = 13, and SR = 5. What is the value of the tangent of ∠R to the nearest hundredth?

Answer 1

Answer:

2.40

Step-by-step explanation:

From the triangle QRS

RQ is the hypotenuse 13

QS is the opposite = 12

SR is the adjacent = 5

According to SOH CAH TOA

tan <R =  opp/adj

Tan <R = qs/sr

Tan <R = 12/5

Tan <R  = 2.40
