What is the value of the tangent of angle?
Answer: The tangent of an angle is equivalent to the ratio of the opposite side over the adjacent side of an angle. Since we have the measure of Angle R and the length of Side PR, we can use the following equation to solve for the length of PQ, tan(28)=PQ5.
Is 90 a special angle?
There are specific angles that provide simple and exact trigonometric values. These specific angles are known as trigonometric special angles. These are 30o, 45o, and 60o. 45o – 45o – 90o triangle — also known as isosceles triangle — is a special triangle with the angles 45o, 45o, and 90o.
Is 135 a special angle?
On other pages there are instructions for constructing angles of 30°, 45°, 60° and 90°. By combining them you can construct other angles….Adding angles.
| To make | Combine angles |
|---|---|
| 75° | 30° + 45° |
| 105° | 45° + 60° |
| 120° | 30° + 90° or 60° + 60° |

What are special angles in geometry?
The special angles on the unit circle refer to the angles that have corresponding coordinates which can be solved with the Pythagorean Theorem. These angles are commonly given as an argument of a trigonometric function such as the sine or cosine functions.
What are the special values of sine cosine and tangent?
The other side of representation of trigonometric values formulas are: Tan θ = sin θ/cos θ Cot θ = cos θ/sin θ Sin θ = tan θ/sec θ
What is trigonometric ratios of special angles?
The trigonometric ratios are special measurements of a right triangle (a triangle with one angle measuring 90° ). Remember that the two sides of a right triangle which form the right angle are called the legs , and the third side (opposite the right angle) is called the hypotenuse .
Why is Tan called tangent?
In geometry, the tangent line (or simply tangent) to a plane curve at a given point is the straight line that “just touches” the curve at that point. Leibniz defined it as the line through a pair of infinitely close points on the curve. The word “tangent” comes from the Latin tangere, “to touch”.
What is a 270 angle?
A 270 degree angle is a reflex angle, because it is larger than 180 degrees, but less than 360 degrees.
What is the tangent of an angle?
The tangent of an angle can be defined using a right triangle. The tangent is equal to the length of the side opposite the angle divided by the length of the adjacent side. Although the tangent is defined with the angles of a right triangle, the tangent function can be used for any angle. Here, we will learn more about the tangent of an angle.

What is the tangent value of a right triangle?
For a right triangle with one acute angle, θ, the tangent value of this angle is defined to be the ratio of the opposite side length to the adjacent side length. The sides of the right triangle are referenced as follows:
Do you need a calculator to find the tangent value?
In most practical cases, it is not necessary to compute a tangent value by hand, and a table, calculator, or some other reference will be provided. The following is a calculator to find out either the tangent value of an angle or the angle from the tangent value.
