Tangent Practice (1) Sides

Front

What is the definition of tangent in trigonometry?

Back

The tangent of an angle in a right triangle is the ratio of the length of the opposite side to the length of the adjacent side.

Front

How do you calculate the tangent of an angle?

Back

Tangent can be calculated using the formula: tan(θ) = opposite/adjacent.

The tangent of the angle is 3/4 or 0.75.

Front

What is the relationship between tangent and the unit circle?

Back

In the unit circle, the tangent of an angle is the y-coordinate divided by the x-coordinate of the point on the circle.

Front

How do you find the length of a side using tangent?

Back

To find the length of a side, use the formula: length = tangent(angle) * adjacent side.
