In ΔOPQ, the measure of ∠Q=90°, OQ = 24, QP = 7, and PO = 25. What is the value of the tangent of ∠O to the nearest hundredth?

Sagot :

Answer: 0.29

Step-by-step explanation:

OQ is the side opposite angle P, QP is the side opposite angle O, and PO is the side opposite angle Q.

This means that tangent = opposite/adjacent, the tangent of angle O is the opposite side, QP, over the length of the adjacent side, OQ. (It cannot be PO since that's the hypotenuse)

This means that the tangent of O is 7/24, which is about 0.29
