In a right triangle, cosine cap A is equal to 0 point 3 5 2 and sine cap A is equal to 0 point 9 3 6 What is the approximate value of tangent cap A ?
Answer
A
2 point 6 5 9
B
0 point 3 2 9
C
0 point 3 7 6
D
1 point 2 8 8
Explanation
Use the identity tan A = sin A ÷ cos A. Substituting the given values gives tan A = 0.936 ÷ 0.352 ≈ 2.659, so the approximate value is 2.659, choice A.
