The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the value of \( \tan T \) in triangle \( \Delta CAT \), where \( \angle A \) is a right angle. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Triangle**: We have triangle \( CAT \) with \( \angle A \) being the right angle. This means that \( C \) and \( T \) are the other two vertices. 2. **Understand the Definition of Tangent**: The tangent of an angle in a right triangle is defined as the ratio of the length of the opposite side to the length of the adjacent side. 3. **Identify the Sides**: - The side opposite to angle \( T \) is \( CA \) (height). - The side adjacent to angle \( T \) is \( AT \) (base). 4. **Write the Tangent Ratio**: Therefore, we can express \( \tan T \) as: \[ \tan T = \frac{\text{Opposite}}{\text{Adjacent}} = \frac{CA}{AT} \] 5. **Final Expression**: Thus, the value of \( \tan T \) in triangle \( CAT \) is: \[ \tan T = \frac{CA}{AT} \] ### Conclusion: The correct answer is \( \tan T = \frac{CA}{AT} \).
