Question Analysis
This problem tests the understanding of the tangent ratio in a 30-60-90 special right triangle.
Key Concept Explanation
In a 30-60-90 triangle, the sides are in the ratio . The tangent of 30 degrees is the ratio of the opposite side to the adjacent side.
Step-by-step Solution
1. Identify the sides: Shorter leg (opposite 30°) = 4, longer leg (adjacent to 30°) = .
2. Calculate the tangent:
