Question

Find the value of tan V rounded to the nearest hundredth, if necessary. The letters are T, U, and V while the numbers are 28 and 35.

Answer 1

If the triangle is right with hypotenuse 35 and one leg 28, the other leg is sqrt(35^2 − 28^2) = sqrt(1225 − 784) = sqrt(441) = 21.
For angle V the opposite side is 28 and the adjacent is 21, so

tan V = 28/21 = 4/3 ≈ 1.33.
