~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Having given  sin(p) = 3/5,  you may interpret it as if you have a right-angled triangle 
with the hypotenuse of 5 units and the opposite leg of 3 units.


Then the adjacent leg is   =  = 4 units long.


Then tan(p) =  = .    ANSWER

Solved and explained.

-------------

---
tan = sin/cos = (3/5)/(4/5) = 3/4
======================
This can be "confirmed" with a calculator.

 is representative of a 3-4-5 PYTHAGOREAM TRIPLE, with hypotenuse, 5, and 3 and 4, the legs.
Therefore, 4 = Longer leg = x = A (Adjacent)
With that, we get
