The tangent ratio is the ratio of the side opposite the acute angle over the side adjacent to the acute angle. True False

True

Explanation:

In a right angle triangle, we have one angle of 90° and two acute angles (acute angle means less than 90°)

We have 3 ratios associated with it, sine, cosine, and tangent.

Sine(θ) = the ratio of the side opposite the acute angle over the side of hypotenuse.

Cosine(θ) = the ratio of the side adjacent to the acute angle over the of hypotenuse.

Tangent(θ) = the ratio of the side opposite the acute angle over the side adjacent to the acute angle.

Therefore, the above statement is indeed true since tangent ratio is the ratio of the side opposite the acute angle over the side adjacent to the acute angle.
