Answer
The statement makes sense.
Work Step by Step
Let us consider the statement, “I am given that $\tan \theta =\frac{3}{5}$ , so I can conclude that $y=3$ and $x=5$.”
According to the trigonometric functions, the value of the tangent function is given by
$\tan \theta =\frac{y}{x}$
Put $5$ for $x$ and $3$ for $y$.
$\tan \theta =\frac{3}{5}$
Thus, the statement makes sense.
