Explain why the tangent of 45 equals 1?
Tangent is determined by the ratio of the side opposite the angle over the one adjacent to it. In a 45-45-90 triangle, the ratio of these sides is 1. This is because the side opposite one of the 45 degree angles is adjacent to the other, and vise versa.
What is the tangent of 42 degrees?
The tangent of 42 degrees is approximately 0.9004. To calculate this, you can use a scientific calculator or a trigonometric table. The tangent function in trigonometry is defined as the ratio of the length of the side opposite to the angle to the length of the side adjacent to the angle in a right triangle.
In math what do the letters in sohcahtoa stand for?
A way of remembering how to compute the sine, cosine, and tangent of an angle. SOH stands for Sine equals Opposite over Hypotenuse. CAH stands for Cosine equals Adjacent over Hypotenuse. TOA stands for Tangent equals Opposite over Adjacent.
What is inverse tangent?
It is a function which maps the tangent ratio - any real value - to an angle in the range (-pi/2, pi/2) radians. Or (-90, 90) degrees.If tan(x) = y then x is the inverse tangent of y.It is also known as "arc tangent", and spreadsheets, such as Excel, use "atan" for this function.Warning:1/tangent = cotangent is the reciprocal, NOT the inverse.
What is an Angle whose side is tangent to a circle called?
There is no specific name for such an angle.
