that queation doesnt make any sence u retard because u cant get the tan of a triangle u can only get the tan of a number
To find the tan of an angle you want to use this ratio:
Opposite side divided by adjacent side
Once you find the answer, on a scientific calculator you enter in your answer and hit the inv button then the tan button and it should give you your answer.

What is tangent in trigonometry?
Tangent is the ratio between perpendicular to the base of the triangle.
What is the tangent of a right triangle?
There is no such thing as the tangent of a triangle. Circles, angles, and conversations have tangents. In a right angled triangle, the tangent of one of the acute angles is the ratio of the length of the side opposite the angle to the length of the side adjacent to it.
What is the formula in getting a tangent?
For a right angle triangle: tangent = opposite/adjacent
How do you know when to use tangent cosine or sine?
It depends on what information you already have. For example, if you know the length of two sides of a triangle, you can easily find the tangent. Or, if you know the length of two angles and a side, you can find the other sides as well, using the tangent, cosine, and sine as needed.
How do you find an internal tangent of 2 circles?
you draw a triangle formed by the centers of the two circles and use pythagoean theorem
What is the tangent side of triangle?
There can be no tangent side. The tangent of an angle, in a right angled triangle, is a ratio of the lengths of two sides.
What is the definition of the tangent ratio for a right triangle?
The tangent ratio for a right angle triangle is opposite/adjacent.
How do you find theta for right triangle?
You can use your trigonometric functions (sine, cosine, and tangent).
How do you use sine cosine and tangent?
They are used to find the angle or side measurement of a right triangle. For example, if 2 sides of a right triangle have known values and an angle has a known measurement, you can find the third side by using sine, cosine or tangent.

How do you find 2 missing sides of a right triangle?
Two methods to try . #1 Use pythagoras h^ = a^2 + a^2 NB THis is only good if you know that the two unknown sides are the same length. #2 Use trigonometry (trig.) This is good if you know the hypotenuse and one of the angles. Sine(angle) = opposite/ hypotenuse Hence opposite side = hypotenuse X sine(angle) Similarly Cosine(angle) = adjacent / hypotenuse. adjacent side = hypotenuse X Cosine(angle) Here is an example If you known the hypotenuse is a length of '6' and the angle is 30 degrees. Then opposite = 6 X Sin(30) opposite = 6 x 0.5 = 3 So the length of the oppisute sides is '3' units. NB DO NOT make the mistakes of saying Sin(6 X 30) = Sin(180) Nor 6 x 30 , nor Sin(6) X 30 , nor any other combination. You MUST find the SINE of the angle , then multiply it to the given length. Similarly for Cosine and Tangent.
Where to use sine and cosine in physics?
The sine, cosine and tangent are used to find the degrees of a right angle triangle.

What is the tangent if the sine is three fifths?
If the sine is 3/5, the tangent must be 3/4, and the triangle must be a 3-4-5 Pythagorean triangle.
What is tangent 60degree angle of a triangle whose base 50meters and has ratios 1 2 sq root 3?
The tangent of 60 degrees is sqrt(3) = 1.732 approx. The shape or size of the triangle is irrelevant.The tangent of 60 degrees is sqrt(3) = 1.732 approx.
