To solve for the missing side length AB in a right triangle using the tangent ratio, we'll first need to remember the definition of the tangent function. The tangent of an angle in a right triangle is the ratio of the length of the opposite side to the length of the adjacent side:
\[
\tan(\theta) = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}}
\]
If we assume we know the angle and the length of the adjacent side, we can rearrange the formula to find the opposite side (which would be AB in this case):
\[
\text{opposite} = \tan(\theta) \times \text{adjacent}
\]
If you have specific values for the angle and the adjacent side, please provide them so that I can help calculate the missing side length AB. Without those specific values, I cannot determine the correct answer from the options provided.
