Question

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

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

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?

Answer 3

yep. go ahead and keep going

Answer 4

That's the tangent :|

Answer 5
