The teacher explained the directions for part one but then he went off a tangent and we never got the directions for part two.
She went off in a TANGENT when she passed by a department store window.
Tangent can mean: a straight line or plane that touches a curve or curved surface at a point, but if extended does not cross it at that point. Today in maths we studied tangents. Or tangent can mean: a completely different line of thought or action. The discussion went off at a tangent and we never resolved the problem.
all you do is look the definition up and write a sentence got it
A departure from the subject under consideration
Trigonometry
Yes, sine, cosine, tangent definitions are based on right triangles
That's not a question -- not even a sentence.
Use an angle of pi/4 radians.
a tangent
To find the tangent of 1, you can use the inverse tangent function (arctan) on a calculator. Simply input 1 into the arctan function and calculate the result. The tangent of 1 is approximately 0.7854.
It is a function which maps the tangent ratio - any real value - to an angle in the range (-pi/2, pi/2) radians. Or (-90, 90) degrees.If tan(x) = y then x is the inverse tangent of y.It is also known as "arc tangent", and spreadsheets, such as Excel, use "atan" for this function.Warning:1/tangent = cotangent is the reciprocal, NOT the inverse.
Use a calculator. There is no simple way to calculate it.
