If the tan of angle x is 22 over 5, and the triangle was dilated to be two times as big as the original, what would be the value of the tan of x for the dilated triangle? Hint: Use the slash symbol ( / ) to represent the fraction bar and enter the fraction with no spaces.

tan x = 22/5
When you dilate the triangle, the angles should stay the same.
Answer: For the dilated triangle: tan x = 22/5
Thank you.

The value of tan x would still be 22/5

Dilation is the changing of the size of a shape by a scale factor without changing the shape.

A shape can be dilated along the x or y axis .

Analysis:

for tan(x) = 22/5

This simply is used for a right angled triangle.

so if tan x = 22/5

opposite of the triangle = 22

Adjacent of the triangle is = 5

So if the lengths of the triangle dilates two times its size,

Then opposite = 2 x 22 = 44

Adjacent = 5 x 2 = 10

tan x = 44/10 = 22/5

In conclusion, the angle does not change no matter how the shape is dilated.
