Math Problem Statement

tan(90°-A)=4/3

Solution

The equation you provided is:

tan(90A)=43\text{tan}(90^\circ - A) = \frac{4}{3}

Using the identity for the tangent of a complementary angle:

tan(90A)=cot(A)\text{tan}(90^\circ - A) = \text{cot}(A)

This gives us:

cot(A)=43\text{cot}(A) = \frac{4}{3}

Since cot(A)=1tan(A)\text{cot}(A) = \frac{1}{\text{tan}(A)}, we can find tan(A)\text{tan}(A):

tan(A)=34\text{tan}(A) = \frac{3}{4}

Thus, the solution to the equation is that tan(A)=34\text{tan}(A) = \frac{3}{4}.

Would you like to go over any further steps or additional concepts?

Here are some related questions you might find helpful:

  1. What is the relationship between cotangent and tangent functions?
  2. How do you convert a cotangent to a tangent?
  3. Can you derive other trigonometric values from tan(A)=34\text{tan}(A) = \frac{3}{4}?
  4. How do complementary angle identities work in trigonometry?
  5. How does the unit circle help in understanding trigonometric identities?

Tip: Always remember that complementary angles add up to 90°, which is why tan(90A)=cot(A)\text{tan}(90^\circ - A) = \text{cot}(A).
