What is the value of tan c in this triangle? 725 247 2425 724 right triangle a b c with right angle at angle b. a b is 24 units long. b c is 7 units long.

B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Please find the attachment.

We have been given that triangle ABC is right angled at B. AB is 24 units long and BC is 7 units long. We are asked to find tan(C).

We know that tangent relates opposite side of right triangle to its adjacent side.

.

Upon substituting our given values in above formula, we will get:

Therefore, tan(C) is equal to and option B is the correct choice.

call the larger triangle abc

then the smaller triangle cde is similar to abc (all angles are equal, aaa).  

ab is the side that is 36, and we wish to find de, the side corresponding to ab

area_cde = area_abc - area_cde --> area_abc / area_cde = 2

let x=length of de

ratio of areas = (ratio of sides)^2
