Tangent Ratio: (Edexcel IGCSE June2010-3H Q14c)

The document is about calculating the lower bound of the tangent ratio (tan x) for a right-angled triangle where the hypotenuse is 20cm to 1 significant figure and the opposite side is 8.3cm to 2 significant figures. To find the lower bound, the calculation uses the lengths given to the specified number of significant figures.
