Answer 3

Lol Yes IK what it means but what does it do and how does it work?

Answer 4

Ugh this is reaching back 2 or more years... I might be wrong but I think the first step is for you to find the opposite and adjacent angles if they give you a triangle. once you do that, you plug those values into a calculator, and it will give you the tangent angle. I'd go to this site if I were you, it makes it easier. http://www.math.com/students/calculators/source/tangent.htm

Answer 5

But what if it gives u a number like for example:

Tan(Degrees)an unknown number = 38
