In that triangle, one of the angles must be a right angle, and another one of the angles must be marked with or the measurement of the angle. Tangent is the ratio of opposite side over adjacent side. The opposite and adjacent sides are determined by the position of the marked angle.

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
How do you find theta for right triangle?
You can use your trigonometric functions (sine, cosine, and tangent).
Which equation describes the tangent function for a right triangle?
tan (0) = opposite/adjacent
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.
What is the sine co sine and tangent of a 90 degree angle if it is on an isosceles right triangle?
0.602
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.
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
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.

The ratio of the opposite adjacent sides of a right triangle?
Tangent
What is the definition of secant-tangent angle?
The secant of an angle in a right triangle is the hypotenuse divided by the adjacent side. The tangent angle of a right triangle is the length of the opposite side divided by the length of the adjacent side.
What is the trig ratio which relates the opposite to the adjacent of a triangle?
the tangent of an angle is opposite over adjacent side of triangle
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 equation for finding the sine and cosine and tangent of a triangle?
For finding the angles in a right angled triangle the ratios are: sine = opposite divided by the hypotenuse cosine = adjacent divided by the hypotenuse tangent = opposite divided by the adjacent
