Calculations:

According to question,

Sin θ = 3/5

Then, tan θ

= Sin θ/[√(1 - sin²θ)]

= (3/5)/[√(1 - (3/5)²)]

= (3/5)/√(16/25)

= (3/5)/(4/5)

= 3/4

Hence, The Required value is 3/4.

 Shortcut Trick

Sin θ = 3/5 = P/H

As we know, P = 3, B = 4, H = 5 is  Pythagorean triplet, then 

⇒ tan θ = P/B =  3/4
