Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

sin ∅ = 15/17 = opposite/hypotenuse

Let the opposite be a, the adjacent side be b and the hypotenuse be c.

15/17 = a/c

since, tan∅ = a/b

We need to find b.

Using Pythagoras theorem

b = √(c²-a²

b = √(17²-15²)

= √(289-225)

= √64

= 8

therefore, b = 8

tan∅ = a/b = 15/8
