For sinX you set it equal to the opposite side of the angle over the hypotenuse(SOH),cross multiply. CosX you set it equal to the adjacent side of the angle over the hypotenuse (CAH), cross multiply. Lastly for TanX set it equal to the opposite of the angle over the adjacent side of the angle and then cross multiply (TOA). I hope that's helpful :)
Using trigonometry its height works out as 63 meters to the nearest meter. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- let: h = height building α, β be the angles of elevation (29° and 37° in some order) d be the distance between the elevations (30 m). x = distance from building where the elevation of angle α is measured. Then: angle α is an exterior angle to the triangle which contains the position from which angle α is measured, the position from which angle β is measured and the point of the top of the building. Thus angle α = angle β + angle at top of building of this triangle → angle α > angle β as the angle at the top of the building is > 0 → α = 37°, β = 29° Using the tangent trigonometric ratio we can form two equations, one with angle α, one with angle β: tan α = h/x → x = h/tan α tan β = h/(x + d) → x = h/tan β - d → h/tan α = h/tan β - d → h/tan β - 1/tan α = d → h(1/tan β - 1/tan α) = d → h(tan α - tan β)/(tan α tan β) = d → h = (d tan α tan β)/(tan α - tan β) We can now substitute the values of α, β and x in and find the height: h = (30 m × tan 37° × tan 29°)/(tan 37° - tan 29°) ≈ 63 m
Tan of pi/2 + k*pi radians, for integer k, is not defined since tan = sin/cos and the cosine of these angles is 0. Since divsiion by 0 is not defined, the tan ratio is not defined.
The ratio is called the tangent of the angle. (also equal to sine/cosine)
sin is short for sine. Sin(x) means the ratio of the side of a right triange opposite the angle 'x' divided by the length of the hypotenuse. cos is short for cosine. Cos(x) is equal to the similar ratio of the side adjacent to the angle 'x' divided by the length of the hypotenuse. tan is short for tangent. Tan(x) is equal to the ratio of the opposite side divided by the adjacent side. This is the same as sin(x)/cos(x).
For a right angle triangle the trigonometrical ration is: tangent = opposite/adjacent
tan y = 20/15
tan-1(0.4877) = 25.99849161 or about 26 degrees
Sine = opposite / hypotenuse
Yes. The tan of 45 degrees is 1.

Tan refers to the ratio of the opposite side of an angle to an adjacent side in a right triangle. For instance, consider a triangle with sides A B C, and angles a b c, where angle a is opposite side A, angle b is opposite side B, and angle c is opposite side C. Angle c is a right angle, and side C is the hypotenuse. Therefore: Tan angle a = side A divided by side B
It means that the angle in question is any multiple of 180 degrees.

No, the angle of incidence and angle of refraction are not directly proportional. They are related through Snell's Law, which states that the ratio of the sine of the angle of incidence to the sine of the angle of refraction is equal to the ratio of the velocities of light in the two mediums.
