The tangent function (tan) in trigonometry is defined as the ratio of the length of the opposite side to the length of the adjacent side in a right triangle. Mathematically, it can be expressed as ( \tan(\theta) = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}} ). Additionally, in terms of sine and cosine, ( \tan(\theta) = \frac{\sin(\theta)}{\cos(\theta)} ), where ( \theta ) is an angle in a right triangle or in the unit circle.
