a ramp is 17 feet long, rises 8 feet above, and a covers a horizontal distance of 15 feet as showed in the figure. the ratio of to is equal to tan B

Answer :

Using relations in a right triangle, it is found that:

The ratio of 8 to 15 is equals to tan B.

What are the relations in a right triangle?

The relations in a right triangle are given as follows:

  • The sine of an angle is given by the length of the opposite side to the angle divided by the length of the hypotenuse.
  • The cosine of an angle is given by the length of the adjacent side to the angle divided by the length of the hypotenuse.
  • The tangent of an angle is given by the length of the opposite side to the angle divided by the length of the adjacent side to the angle.

Researching the problem on the internet, we have that:

  • The side opposite to angle B has a length of 8 feet.
  • The side adjacent to angle B has a length of 15 feet.

Hence the tangent of B is:

tan(B) = 8/15.

Which means that:

The ratio of 8 to 15 is equals to tan B.
