In math What is the difference between tan and tan-1?

In mathematics, "tan" refers to the tangent function, which calculates the ratio of the opposite side to the adjacent side in a right triangle for a given angle. On the other hand, "tan⁻¹" (or arctan) is the inverse tangent function, which takes a ratio and returns the angle whose tangent is that ratio. Essentially, while tan gives you the tangent of an angle, tan⁻¹ helps you find the angle when you know the tangent value.

If A tangent tangent angle intercepts two arcs that measure 135 degrees and 225 degrees what is the measure of the tangent tangent angle?

The tangent-tangent angle is formed by two tangents drawn from a point outside a circle to points on the circle. To find the measure of the tangent-tangent angle, you take half the difference of the intercepted arcs. In this case, the arcs measure 135 degrees and 225 degrees. Therefore, the measure of the tangent-tangent angle is (\frac{1}{2} (225^\circ - 135^\circ) = \frac{1}{2} (90^\circ) = 45^\circ).


Can you use the tangent ratio to find the length of the hypotenuse?

No; the tangent ratio only deals with the lengths of the opposite side and adjacent side. You can square the two sides and add them together, then find the square root of the sum to find the length of the hypotenuse.


How do you find the degree when you know height and length?

To find the degree of an angle when you know the height and length of a right triangle, you can use the tangent function. The tangent of the angle is equal to the opposite side (height) divided by the adjacent side (length). You can calculate the angle by taking the arctangent (inverse tangent) of the height divided by the length: ( \text{angle} = \tan^{-1}(\frac{\text{height}}{\text{length}}) ). This will give you the angle in degrees.

How do you find how many degrees a shape is without a protractor?

The degree of an angle can be determined using the tangent function. From one ray of the angle, draw a perpendicular line until it intersects the other ray of the angle. Measure the length of the first ray (A) and the perpendicular line (B) and set as a ratio of B/A. This ratio is equal to the tangent of the angle.

How do you find the elevation of the sun?

WARNING: Do not, under any conditions, look at the sun, directly or indirectly.The find the elevation of the sun, measure the angle that an object's shadow from the sun makes. One way to do this is with a stick in the ground. Assuming the stick is perpendicular to the ground, the ratio of the stick's length to the shadow's length is the tangent of the angle of elevation. Solve for inverse tangent, and you have the angle.

How do you find the angle of elevation of the sun if the shadow of the pole 60 ft tall reaches 92 ft from the pole?

Providing that the pole is on level ground you have the outline of a right angled triangle with an adjacent side of 92 ft (the shadow of the pole) and a opposite side of 60 ft (the height of the pole). To find the angle of elevation use the tangent ratio. Tangent = Opposite/Adjacent Tangent = 60/92 = 0.652173913 Tan-1(0.652173913) = 33.11134196 degrees Therefore the angle of elevation is 33o correct to two significant figures.

How do you find the tan angle of 4900 and 19600?

Although you haven't expressed it too clearly in your question, I think what you may belooking for is the angle whose tangent is 4,900, and the angle whose tangent is 19,600 .The problem is that the tangent of 89 degrees is about 57.3, and every numberfrom 57.3 all the way up to 'infinity' is the tangent of an angle somewhere in thatlast degree, between 89 and 90 . . . They really bunch up in there !4,900 is the tangent of 89.9883 degrees. (rounded)19,600 is the tangent of 89.9971 degrees. (rounded)
