In the given right angle triangle BCA : BC = 5, CA = 3 and BA = root 34
From the trignometric ratio of right angle triangle :
The tangent of angle is the ratio of the Adjacent side to the opposite side
[tex]\tan \theta=\frac{Opposite\text{ side}}{Adjacent\text{Side}}[/tex]
In the given triangle, the side opposite to angle A = BC and adjacent side CB
Substitute the value :
[tex]\begin{gathered} \tan \theta=\frac{Opposite\text{ side}}{Adjacent\text{Side}} \\ \tan A=\frac{BC}{CB} \\ \tan A=\frac{5}{3} \\ \tan A=1.66 \\ \\ ^{} \end{gathered}[/tex]
The value of tanA = 5/3 or 1.66
