| 1. The tangent of the angle of a right-angled triangle is the ratio of the leg opposite
this angle (opposite), to the leg, which is its side (adjacent). Then
is the tangent ∠A = BC / AC = 4/3.
Therefore, BC: AC = 4: 3.
3BC = 4AC.
BC = 4AC / 3.
2. Calculate the length of the AC leg using the Pythagorean theorem:
AB² = BC² + AC².
3. We substitute in this expression 4АС / 3 instead of ВС:
(4АС / 3) ² + АС² = AB².
16 AC² / 9 + AC² = 625.
25АС² / 9 = 625.
AC² = 9 x 25.
AC = 15 cm.
Answer: the length of the AC leg is 15 centimeters.
