Question

From the given figure, find the values of tan C

Sum

Solution

In the right ΔABD,

AD2 = AB2 – BD2

= 132 – 52

= 169 – 25

= 144

AD = `sqrt(144)`

= 12

In the right ΔADC,

AC2 = AD2 + DC2

= 122 + 162

= 144 + 256

= 400

AC = `sqrt(400)`

= 20

tan C = `"opposite side"/"adjacent side" = "AD"/"DC" = 12/16 = 3/4`
