The tangent of an angle in a right triangle is defined as the ratio of the length of the opposite side to the length of the adjacent side. As the angle increases, the length of the opposite side grows faster than the adjacent side decreases, leading to a larger ratio. Additionally, on the unit circle, the tangent function corresponds to the y-coordinate (sine) divided by the x-coordinate (cosine), and as the angle approaches 90 degrees, the cosine approaches zero, causing the tangent to increase towards infinity. Thus, the tangent function is increasing for angles between 0 and 90 degrees.

How do you calculate tangent of an angle?
the tangent of an angle is equal to the length of the opposite side from the angle divided by the length of the side adjacent to the angle.
What type of angle is formed by a tangent and a radius?
The angle between the radius and the tangent is a right angle of 90 degrees.

If the tangent of the angle is [0.171], then the angle is approximately [9.704 degrees] (rounded)
What happens to the tangent of an angle as the measure of the angle gets close to ninety degrees?
As you approach from less than 90°, the tangent of the angle increases towards positive infinity.As you approach from greater than 90°, the tangent approaches negative infinity.Example:tan(89°) = 57.29tan(89.9°) = 572.96tan(91°) = -57.29tan(90.1°) = -572.96
Why does the tangent of a particular angle always have the same value?
Because the tangent is a function of with the angle as its argument.
