Answer:
[tex]\text{tan}(x)=\frac{4}{3}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Please find the attachment.
We have been given that triangle xyz has sides xy = 3", yz = 4", and xz = 5". The angle y is a right angle and side yz is opposite angle x. We are asked to find the [tex]\text{tan}(x)[/tex].
We know that tangent represents relation between opposite and adjacent side of right triangle.
We can see that adjacent side of our given triangle is xy, so we will get:
[tex]\text{tan}(x)=\frac{yz}{xy}[/tex]
[tex]\text{tan}(x)=\frac{4}{3}[/tex]
Therefore, tan of angle x is [tex]\frac{4}{3}[/tex].
