What is tangent?
The tangent calculator is designed to provide the values of trigonometric function tan. You can calculate the value of tan for both radians and degrees by the tangent finder.
How to use the tangent solver?
To use the tan calculator, you will have to
Enter the value of the angle.
Choose the angle unit i.e degrees or radians
Lastly, click calculate.
What is tangent?
Tangent aka tan is the ratio of perpendicular to the base for a right-angle triangle. It is also defined as the opposite over adjacent for a normal triangle.
tangent
It is one of the three main ratios of trigonometry, others are sine and cos.
Tangent has its uses in almost every field.
If you want to find something similar to hypotenuse or slope, tan is the function you will need. For kinematics in robotics, measurements in construction, flight path in the air traffic, and many more.
How to find tangents?
The formula to find tan lies in its own definition i.e
tan(x) = base/hypotenuse = opposite / adjacent
It is also possible to compute tan using the other two basic trig ratios i.e sine and cosine.
Tan (x) = sinx / cosx
