Verified Answer :

Answer:

Option D. tan C

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

In the right triangle ABC of the figure

The tangent of angle C is equal to divide the opposite side angle C (AB) by the adjacent side angle C (AC)

so

\(tan(C)=\frac{AB}{AC}\)

substitute the given values

\(tan(C)=\frac{8}{15}\)

Answer:

tan c
