Question

A right triangle is shown below.
45°
3 units
What is the tan of x?

Answer 1

Answer:

Tan x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

As a tangent of 90° is impossible, x must be the measure of both of the 45° angles.

If we assume 3 is the length of one of the shorter legs, it is also the length of the other of the shorter leg

Tangent x = Opposite/Adjacent = 3/3 = 1
