Suppose ABC is a triangle. There is nothing in the question that requires the triangle to be right angled.

Suppose

AB is the side opposite to angle C and

BC is a side adjacent to angle C.

Then AB/BC = sin(C)/sin(A)

What is the ratio of the length of the opposite leg to the length of the adjacent?

Oh, dude, you're talking about trigonometry now! The ratio of the length of the opposite leg to the length of the adjacent leg in a right triangle is called the tangent of the angle. It's calculated by dividing the length of the opposite side by the length of the adjacent side. So, like, if you're trying to find that ratio, just remember to divide and conquer!


What ratio relates the length of the leg opposite the angle in question to the length of the leg adjacent to the angle?

This ratio is the tangent of the angle.If the triangle is a right angled triangle and the angle in question is not the right angle, then it is the tangent of the angle in question.

Fill in the blank The ratio relates the length of the leg opposite the angle in question to the length of the hypotenuse?

This ratio is called the sine ratio for a right triangle. A simple way to remember this is by using the mnemonic 'SOHCAHTOA', where SOH stands for sine equals the ratio opposite side/ hypotenuse, COH is cosine equals adjacent side/hypotenuse, and TOA is tangent equals opposite side/adjacent side.

When you say Tangent of 30 equals -6.40 what does the -6.40 represent. Is it the length of something or the angle of something?

-6.40 It is the length of the opposite leg divided by the length of the adjacent leg


Why can't you get tan90?

Think of tangent as sin divided by cos or sin/cos. Now cos 90 degrees is 0 so tan90 would be 1/0 which is not define since you are now allowed to divide by 0. It's best to visualize what Tan(90) means: Take a typical right angle triangle: From the angle in question (A), you have the adjacent leg (The leg extending from angle A to the right angle opposite), the opposite leg (the leg directly opposite the angle A, of course) and the hypotenuse (the leg intersecting the aforementioned two legs) Tan(A) is the ratio of the opposite leg and the adjacent leg. To solve for Tan (A): Tan (A) = opposite/adjacent. As angle (A) increases, the length of the opposite side also increases. So what happens at A=90? Well, you no longer have a triangle! The hypotenuse (the leg that intersects the opposite side from the adjacent side) NEVER INTERSECTS. Therefore, no longer being a triangle, you can no longer define the ratio.
