The sine, cosine and tangent are used to find the degrees of a right angle triangle.
Tangent = sine/cosine provided that cosine is non-zero. When cosine is 0, then tangent is undefined.
It depends on what information you already have. For example, if you know the length of two sides of a triangle, you can easily find the tangent. Or, if you know the length of two angles and a side, you can find the other sides as well, using the tangent, cosine, and sine as needed.
tangent will always be larger because its denominator is smaller than sine's.
You can use your trigonometric functions (sine, cosine, and tangent).
They are used to find the angle or side measurement of a right triangle. For example, if 2 sides of a right triangle have known values and an angle has a known measurement, you can find the third side by using sine, cosine or tangent.
If you know the angle's sine, cosine, or tangent, enter it into the calculator and press <inverse> sine, cosine, or tangent. On MS Calc, in Scientific Mode, using Degrees, enter 0.5, then check Inv and the press sin. You should get 30 degrees. The other functions work similarly.
Yes, sine, cosine, tangent definitions are based on right triangles
Cotangent is 1 / tangent. Since tangent is sine / cosine, cotangent is cosine / sine.
If the sine is 3/5, the tangent must be 3/4, and the triangle must be a 3-4-5 Pythagorean triangle.
