Explanation
Correct answer: 7/50,.14,.140,0.14.
It's given that triangle is similar to triangle , where angle corresponds to angle and angle corresponds to angle . In similar triangles, the tangents of corresponding angles are equal. Since angle and angle are corresponding angles, if , then . It's also given that angles and are right angles. It follows that triangle is a right triangle with acute angles and . The tangent of one acute angle in a right triangle is the inverse of the tangent of the other acute angle in the triangle. Therefore, . Substituting for in this equation yields , or . Thus, if , the value of is . Note that 7/50, .14, .140, and 0.14 are examples of ways to enter a correct answer.
Desmos solution:
Note: Since E is the other acute angle, tan(E) is the reciprocal of tan(A), so read 7/50.
