What is the value (ratio) of tan a? will award brainliest! a. 15/8 b. 8/15 c. 15/17 d. 8/17

The six trigonometric ratios relate the sides of a right triangle to its angles.

For any right triangle the side opposite to the right angle is the hypotenuse.The side adjacent to the given angle is known as adjacent while the side opposite to the angle is known as the opposite.

In the given figure AC=17 is the hypotenuse.the side adjacent to <A is AB=8,the side opposite to <A is BC=15.

Tan of any angle is the ratio of opposite and adjacent.

Option A is the right answer.

the direct variation says that:

then the equation is of the form is given by:

            where k is the constant variation.

from the given table:

consider any value of x and m(x)=y

x = 2 and m(x)=y = 3

substitute these value in [1]; we have;

divide both sides by 2 we get;

⇒

check:

put x = -1 and m(x) = -1.5

substitute in the equation:

-1.5 = -1.5                   true

therefore, the function m(x) represents a direct variation

i have done this all on a piece of paper but idk how to put it on here cuz it needs to be drawn
