Question

In a right-angled triangle, the longest side is
14
units and the smallest side is
7
units.

Find the
tan
of the smallest angle.

Answer 1

$\fontsize{18}{10}{\textup{\textbf{The required value is 1/sqrt3}}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the third side be x

So x^2 +7^2=14^2

=>x^2=196-49

=>x=7rt3

So the smallest angle is opposite to 7

So tan(smallest angle)= 7/(7rt3)        Perpendicular/base

=1/rt3
