Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

take theta as reference angle

tan theta=opposite/adjacent

=15/8

Answer:

option B

Step-by-step explanation:

First find opposite side using Pythagoras theorem:

[tex]17^2 = 8^2 + opposite^2 \\\\opposite^2 = 289 - 64 = 225\\\\opposite = 15[/tex]

Therefore,

          [tex]tan \theta = \frac{opposite}{adjacent} = \frac{15}{8}[/tex]
