Find the tangent of theta

Given:

Right triangle.

Base = 10

Hypotenuse = 26

To find:

The missing side length

Solution:

Let the missing side length be x.

Using Pythagoras theorem:

In right triangle, square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.

Subtract 100 from both sides.

Taking square root on both sides.

The missing side length of the right triangle is 24.

-12 > a

step-by-step explanation:

-11 > 1 + a

subtract 1 from each side

-11-1 > 1-1+a

-12 > a
