Yes a tangent is a straight line thattouches a curve at only one point But there is a tangent ratio used in trigonometry
Trigonometry
The six basic functions of trigonometry are the sine, cosine, tangent, cosecant, secant, and cotangent functions. Abbreviated sin, cos, tan, csc, sec, cot.
tangent of 30 degrees = 1/2 of the square root of 3 = roughly 0.5773
The inverse tangent, denoted as arctan or tan^(-1), of 1.4737 is approximately 56.05 degrees when measured in degrees or approximately 0.980 radians when measured in radians. This value represents the angle whose tangent is 1.4737. In trigonometry, the inverse tangent function helps determine the angle when the tangent ratio is known.
