A right-angled 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.
