Proof: Tangent 3
Let's prove the following theorem:
if ∠ABC is a right angle, then tangent of (m∠BAC) = (distance BC) / (distance AB)
Proof:
Given
1 | ∠ABC is a right angle |
---|
# | Claim | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | tangent of (m∠BAC) = (distance CB) / (distance BA) | if ∠ABC is a right angle, then tangent of (m∠BAC) = (distance CB) / (distance BA) |
2 | tangent of (m∠BAC) = (distance BC) / (distance AB) | if tangent of (m∠BAC) = (distance CB) / (distance BA), then tangent of (m∠BAC) = (distance BC) / (distance AB) |
