In triangle ABC, angle C is 90 degrees, AC = 16, tag = 0.75. Find BC.

In a right-angled triangle, the tangent of its acute angle is the ratio of the length of the opposite leg to the length of the adjacent leg.

tgBAC = BC / AC.

BC = AC * tgBAC = 16 * 0.75 = 12 cm.

Answer: The length of the BC leg is 12 cm.
