Answer:

A) [tex]\frac{15}{8}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

remember Soh Cah Toa!!

[tex]sin=\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}\\ cos=\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse} \\tan=\frac{opposite}{adjacent} \\\\cos=\frac{8}{17}\\\\a^2+b^2=c^2\\8^2+b^2=17^2\\64+b^2=289\\b^2=225\\\sqrt{b^2} =\sqrt{225}\\b=15=opposite\\\\tan=\frac{15}{8}[/tex]
