What is the ratio of the length of the opposite leg to the length of the adjacent?
Oh, dude, you're talking about trigonometry now! The ratio of the length of the opposite leg to the length of the adjacent leg in a right triangle is called the tangent of the angle. It's calculated by dividing the length of the opposite side by the length of the adjacent side. So, like, if you're trying to find that ratio, just remember to divide and conquer!
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.
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.
Is tan theta in the 3rd quadrant negative?
In the third quadrant, both the x and y coordinates are negative. Since tangent is defined as the ratio of the opposite side to the adjacent side in a right triangle, in the third quadrant where both sides are negative, the tangent of an angle theta will be positive. Therefore, tan theta is not negative in the third quadrant.
What is the difference between sin cos and tan?
In a right triangle, the right angle is formed by sides a and b. Side c is the hypotenuse.Theta is the interior angle that joins (let's say) sides b and c. The sin of theta is the length of a over the length of c. The cos of theta is the length of b over the length of c. The tan of theta is the length of a over the length of b.Sin theta= opposite divided by hypotenuse. Cos theta=adjacent divided by hypotenuse. Tan theta=opposite over adjacent.(Sin1-Cos1)-Tan1=-1.25623905Sorry, that was a mathematician's joke.
Is the sine ratio of an angle is the opposite side over the adjacent side?
no it is angle opposite to tita/ hypotenouse
What is the trig ratio which relates the opposite to the adjacent of a triangle?
the tangent of an angle is opposite over adjacent side of triangle
How do you work out a right angle triangle where you know the opposite side and the adjacent side to get the opposite angle?
The ratio of the opposite side over the adjacent side is called the tangent.Expressing the fraction (opposite/adjacent) as a decimal, you can find the angle by looking in a table of values for the tangents of various angles.
What is the tangent of a triangle?
In that triangle, one of the angles must be a right angle, and another one of the angles must be marked with or the measurement of the angle. Tangent is the ratio of opposite side over adjacent side. The opposite and adjacent sides are determined by the position of the marked angle.
What does tan equal in trigonometry?
Tan = o/a Tangent of an angle = opposite over adjacent. Here are the other Trig. functions. SINe(angle) = opposite/hypotenuse COSine(angle) = adjacent/hypotenuse COTangent(angle) = adjacent/opposite Cosecant(CSC)(angle) = hypotenuse/oppositre SECant(angle) = hypotenuse/ adjcent.

The trigonometric ratio cosine is equal to?
opposite over adjacent
What is the sin cos tan trick?
Sine is opposite side of angle over hypotenuse. Cosine is adjacent side of angle over hypotenuse. Tangent is the opposite side over the adjacent side.
How do you solve a secant angle?

The tan of an angle equal to the ratio of the?
Adjacent side over the hypotenuse.

How do you find out how to write the ratio for sin X cos X and tan X in a right triangle?
For sinX you set it equal to the opposite side of the angle over the hypotenuse(SOH),cross multiply. CosX you set it equal to the adjacent side of the angle over the hypotenuse (CAH), cross multiply. Lastly for TanX set it equal to the opposite of the angle over the adjacent side of the angle and then cross multiply (TOA). I hope that's helpful :)
