\n" ); document.write( "The smaller acute angle is opposite the shorter leg.

\n" ); document.write( "The tangent of the smaller acute angle is the ratio of the length of the shorter leg to the length of the longer leg.

\n" ); document.write( "\"tan%28x%29+=+11.4%2F15.1\"

\n" ); document.write( "Use the inverse tangent function on a calculator to find the answer.
