What is the Tangent Angle Calculator & How does it work?
The tangent of an angle in a right triangle is the ratio of the length of the opposite side to the length of the adjacent side. In trigonometry, the tangent function is defined as:
tan(theta) = frac{opposite}{adjacent}
theta = angle in degrees or radians
The tangent function is periodic with a period of 180Β° (or Ο€ radians) and has vertical asymptotes at angles where the cosine is zero (90Β°, 270Β°, etc.). This calculator helps you find the tangent value for any given angle in degrees.
