Question:
In triangle TUV, the measure of angle V = 90°, TV = 56, UT = 65, and VU = 33. What is the value of the tangent of angle U to the nearest hundredth?
_________________________________________________
Solution:
The triangle should look like that in the attachment.
Tangent of U = opposite side/adjacent side.
= 56/33
= 1.69696969.....
Rounding off to nearest hundredth,
= 1.697
