Given right triangle XYZ , what is the value of tangent of open paren 60 degrees close paren ?

The tangent of an angle is the ratio of the side opposite the angle to the adjacent side. For a 60° angle in a 30-60-90 triangle, those sides are in the ratio √3 to 1, so tan(60°) = √3. The correct choice is “square root of 3.”
