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?
Oh, dude, the tangent of 42 degrees is like the ratio of the length of the opposite side to the adjacent side in a right triangle with a 42-degree angle. So, technically, it's the tangent of 42 degrees. But like, who really cares about tangents, am I right?
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.
The tangent of an angle equals the ratio of the?
Sine of the angle to its cosine.
The tangent of an angle equals the ratio of the what?
in a right trianlge the tangent is the ratio of Opposite/Adjacentcosine is Adjacent/Hypotenusesine is Opposite/Hypotenuse
What is the definition of the tangent ratio for a right triangle?
The tangent ratio for a right angle triangle is opposite/adjacent.
What is a angle with a tangent ratio of 0.9325?
27
When you say Tangent of 30 equals -6.40 does the -6.40 represent the length or angle of something else?
In a right triangle, the tangent of an angle other than the right angle is the ratio of the length of the side opposite the angle over the length of the side adjacent to the angle (the side between the angle and the right angle).
What ratio relates the length of the leg opposite the angle in question to the length of the leg adjacent to the angle?
This ratio is the tangent of the angle.If the triangle is a right angled triangle and the angle in question is not the right angle, then it is the tangent of the angle in question.
What is the ratio of the tangent of an angle?
Opposite divided by adjacent
What is the tangent side of triangle?
There can be no tangent side. The tangent of an angle, in a right angled triangle, is a ratio of the lengths of two sides.
What angle is the ratio of the opposite leg length to the adjacent leg length?
Its Tangent, APEX "The tangent of an angle is the ratio of the opposite leg length to the adjacent leg length."
How do you calculate the base of the right triangle given the height and the opposite angle?
By using the tangent ratio of: opposite/tangent angle = adjacent which is the base
What is the tangent ratio of angle y?
tan y = 20/15
What is tangent times pie?
The tangent of an angle is a ratio so, if you mean pi, and not pie, then it is simply a product of two ratios.
