Example: In a right triangle, ∠ B is acute and cos B = 𝟕. Find the value of tan B.
Step 1 Draw a right triangle and label one acute angle B. Label the adjacent side 3 and the hypotenuse 7.
32 + 𝑏 2 = 72 a = 3 and c = 7
9 + 𝑏 2 = 49 Simplify.
2
𝑏 = 40 Subtract 9 from each side.
2√10
tan B = 3
Replace opp with 2√10 and adj with 3.
