Question 1195084
.
with this (1) if sin p=3/5,and p is an acute
angle,what is the value of tan p?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


<pre>
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  {{{sqrt(5^2-3^2)}}} = {{{sqrt(16)}}} = 4 units long.


Then tan(p) = {{{opposite_leg/adjacent_leg}}} = {{{3/4}}}.    <U>ANSWER</U>
