Consider the triangle below:

A right triangle named $ABC$ABC is shown with a right angle at vertex $C$C and an interior angle labeled as θ indicated at vertex $B$B. The triangle has each side labeled with its length. Side $AB$AB (the hypotenuse) measures $25$25 units. Side $AC$AC, the side opposite to angle θ measures $24$24 units. And side $BC$BC, the side adjacent to angle θ  measures $7$7 units.

Select the ratio that represents $\tan\theta$tanθ.

Outcomes

M3.G.SRT.C.4

Use side ratios in right triangles to define trigonometric ratios.

M3.G.SRT.C.4.A

Understand that by similarity, side ratios in right triangles are properties of the angles in the triangle, leading to definitions of trigonometric ratios for acute angles.

M3.G.SRT.C.4.B

Explain and use the relationship between the sine and cosine of complementary angles.

M3.MP3

Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.

M3.MP5

Use appropriate tools strategically.

M3.MP6

Attend to precision.

M3.MP7

Look for and make use of structure.

M3.MP8

Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.
