    Okay, sorry for asking. But I really do not get this math.

    _________

    Every right triangle has two acute angles.
    In the right triangle at the right, the acute angels are Angle A and Angle B. The ratio to the length of the opposite side to the length of the adjacent side of a right triangle is called the tangent ratio.

    In triangle ABC, the rangent ratio for anle A is a/b, and the tangent ratio for angle B is b/a,. In the table below, each right triangle has one acute angle that measures 57 Degrees and another that measures 33 degrees. Find the tangent ratio for the acute angles in each triangle. Round each answer to the nearest hundreth.
