Tangent or Tan function is defined as
a value (or the ratio)
obtained by dividing the Opposite Side by
Adjacent Side with
reference to angle (x) or (y) being measured in degrees a
Right Angled Triangle.
It also is same as tan(angle) = Sin(angle)/Cos(angle). The value of Tangent function varies from a infinite negative value (e.g. 90.00001) to positive infinite value (e.g. 89.99999). The value of sin(90) = 1 and cos(90) = 0, and hence tan(90) = sin(90)/cos(90), becomes 1/0 a indeterminate value. The tan(degree) values are shown in Table A. |
Tan(x) = Opposide Side/Hypotenuse = BC/AB | Tan(y) = Opposide Side/Hypotenuse = AB/BC |
