There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?

How is length of tangent formula calculated?

A tangent is a straight line and so is of infinite length. There is nothing in the question to suggest otherwise so the answer is simple: a tangent is of infinite length.A tangent is a straight line and so is of infinite length.

What is the length of the tangent?

A tangent is an infinitely long straight line.


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.


The tangent ratio relates the length of the leg?

the opposite


How do you know when to use tangent cosine or sine?

It depends on what information you already have. For example, if you know the length of two sides of a triangle, you can easily find the tangent. Or, if you know the length of two angles and a side, you can find the other sides as well, using the tangent, cosine, and sine as needed.
