In a right angled triangle, it is the ratio of the lengths of the side opposite to the angle and the side adjacent to the angle.
Of course, this definition restricts the function to (0, 90) degrees whereas the tangent function is defined for all real numbers.

Is the tangent ratio number is greater than one?
The tangent ratio can take any real value.
The measure of a tangent-tangent angle is half the difference of the measures of the intercepted arcs?
True
Is it true or false that the measure of a tangent-chord angle is twice the measure of the intercepted arc inside the angle?
It is true that the measure of a tangent-chord angle is half the measure of the intercepted arc inside the angle. When a tangent line intersects a chord of a circle, it creates an angle between the tangent line and the chord, known as the tangent-chord angle. If we draw a segment from the center of the circle to the midpoint of the chord, it will bisect the chord, and the tangent-chord angle will be formed by two smaller angles, one at each end of this segment. Now, the intercepted arc inside the tangent-chord angle is the arc that lies between the endpoints of the chord and is inside the angle. The measure of this arc is half the measure of the central angle that subtends the same arc, which is equal to the measure of the angle formed by the two smaller angles at the ends of the segment that bisects the chord. Therefore, we can conclude that the measure of a tangent-chord angle is half the measure of the intercepted arc inside the angle.
The measure of a tangent chord angle is twice the measure of the intercepted arc inside the angle?
false
How do you find the height of a right angle?
Assuming you know the angle of ascension, and the base, you can calculate the height by recalling that tangent theta is height over base. Simple algebra from there: height is tangent theta times base.
The tangent of an angle equals the ratio of the?
Sine of the angle to its cosine.
What is the definition of the tangent ratio for a right triangle?
The tangent ratio for a right angle triangle is opposite/adjacent.
What is a angle with a tangent ratio of 0.9325?
27
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.
He tangent of an angle equals the ratio of the?
opposite/ adjacent
What is the ratio of the tangent of an angle?
Opposite divided by adjacent
The tangent of an angle equals the ratio of the what?
in a right trianlge the tangent is the ratio of Opposite/Adjacentcosine is Adjacent/Hypotenusesine is Opposite/Hypotenuse
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 angle is the ratio of the opposite leg length to the adjacent leg length?
Its Tangent, APEX "The tangent of an angle is the ratio of the opposite leg length to the adjacent leg length."
How do you calculate the base of the right triangle given the height and the opposite angle?
By using the tangent ratio of: opposite/tangent angle = adjacent which is the base
What is the tangent ratio of angle y?
tan y = 20/15
What is tangent times pie?
The tangent of an angle is a ratio so, if you mean pi, and not pie, then it is simply a product of two ratios.
