Math Problem Statement

Solution

The image shows a trigonometric problem involving a right triangle. The lengths of the legs of the triangle are 66 and 99, and we are to find the length of the hypotenuse and the tangent of the angle θ\theta opposite to the leg of length 66.

Let's start by finding the hypotenuse cc using the Pythagorean theorem:

c=62+92=36+81=117=313c = \sqrt{6^2 + 9^2} = \sqrt{36 + 81} = \sqrt{117} = 3\sqrt{13}

Next, we find tan(θ)\tan(\theta):

tan(θ)=oppositeadjacent=69=23\tan(\theta) = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}} = \frac{6}{9} = \frac{2}{3}

To summarize:

  1. The length of the hypotenuse cc is 3133\sqrt{13}.
  2. The tangent of the angle θ\theta is 23\frac{2}{3}.
