Using tangent to find the missing length of a triangle

The video tutorial explains how to identify the sides of a right triangle, focusing on the hypotenuse, adjacent, and opposite sides. It introduces trigonometric functions—sine, cosine, and tangent—and demonstrates how to use the tangent function to solve for an unknown side of a triangle when given an angle and one side length. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of using a calculator in degree mode to find the solution.
