The short hand for the tangent is

Tangent (function) more ... In a right angled triangle, the tangent of an angle is: The length of the side opposite the angle divided by the length of the adjacent side. The abbreviation is tan.

use an equation of ratios to determine the amount of gas needed to fill the tank.

    0.2             0.8

  =    

288.75             x

                                                              231 gal

so, 0.2x = (0.8)(288.75 gal), and x = = 1155 gal.

                                                                0.2

it would take 1155 gal. to fill the tank.

the cost would be

1155 gal         $3

* = $3465   (answer)

      1           1 gal

hope this you
