can anyone explain how to find the tangent of a right triangle? any explanation and example will help

OpenStudy (callisto):

|dw:1335798312943:dw| First, draw a right angle triangle, mark the length with unknown a, b and c. and a reference angle x

OpenStudy (callisto):

Then, tanx is opposite side to the angle (that is a) / adjacent sides of the angle ( that is b) So, tanx = a/b Got it so far?

OpenStudy (anonymous):
