a. By definition
[tex]\tan (angle)=\frac{\text{ opposite}}{\text{ adjacent}}[/tex]
From the picture
[tex]\tan (\theta)=\frac{y}{x}=\frac{24}{7}[/tex]
Isolating y
[tex]y=\frac{24}{7}x[/tex]
y is 24/7 times as large as x
b. Given that neither θ nor x is known, then y cannot be evaluated (not enough information)
c. Given that neither θ nor y is known, then x cannot be evaluated (not enough information)
