I don't have the full diagram. Could you upload the picture or say which side (24 or 26) is opposite/adjacent to angle E and whether 26 is the hypotenuse?
If the triangle is right with hypotenuse 26 and one leg 24, the other leg is sqrt(26^2−24^2)=10. Then:
- If angle E is opposite the 24-length side, tan(E) = 24/10 = 12/5.
- If angle E is opposite the 10-length side (so 24 is adjacent to E), tan(E) = 10/24 = 5/12.
Tell me which vertex is E (or show the diagram) and I'll give the single correct value.
