tanθ=(1/3)  and   tan β=(3/4)  faind  a  and   b
$$\mathrm{tan}\theta=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{3}}\:\:{and}\:\:\:\mathrm{tan}\:\beta=\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{4}} \\ $$$${faind}\:\:{a}\:\:{and}\:\:\:{b} \\ $$

not possible! question is wrong!  tan β=(a/b)=(3/4)  you can not determine a and b.
$${not}\:{possible}!\:{question}\:{is}\:{wrong}! \\ $$$$\mathrm{tan}\:\beta=\frac{{a}}{{b}}=\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{4}} \\ $$$${you}\:{can}\:{not}\:{determine}\:{a}\:{and}\:{b}. \\ $$

tan θ = ((AC)/(BC)) = (a/(BC)) = (1/3)  tan β = ((AC)/(CD)) = (a/b) = (3/4)  (a/b) = (3/4) ⇒ a = ((3b)/4) ∧ b = ((4a)/3)
$$\mathrm{tan}\:\theta\:=\:\frac{{AC}}{{BC}}\:=\:\frac{{a}}{{BC}}\:=\:\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{3}} \\ $$$$\mathrm{tan}\:\beta\:=\:\frac{{AC}}{{CD}}\:=\:\frac{{a}}{{b}}\:=\:\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{4}} \\ $$$$\frac{{a}}{{b}}\:=\:\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{4}}\:\Rightarrow\:{a}\:=\:\frac{\mathrm{3}{b}}{\mathrm{4}}\:\wedge\:{b}\:=\:\frac{\mathrm{4}{a}}{\mathrm{3}} \\ $$
