Answer:
B) 15/8
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the SOH-CAH-TOA acronym:
• SOH: Sin(θ) = Opposite / Hypotenuse
• CAH: Cos(θ) = Adjacent / Hypotenuse
• TOA: Tan(θ) = Opposite / Adjacent
Tangent of A would be "opposite" over "adjacent". The side of the triangle opposite angle A would be 15, and the side adjacent to angle A would be 8 -- the value of tan(A) is 15/8.
Tan(A) cannot be 15/7, because 7 is the hypotenuse. Remember that the hypotenuse of a right triangle is the side opposite the 90° angle -- here, angle B is the 90° angle.
