Tangent Ratios
Right triangles have ratios that are used to represent their base angles. Tangent ratios, along with cosine and sine ratios, are ratios of two different sides of a right triangle. Tangent ratios are the ratio of the side opposite to the side adjacent the angle they represent.
Trigonometric Ratio: Tangent
Given an angle A in a right triangle, then tan A is equal to the length of the leg that is opposite to this angle A, over the length of the leg that is adjacent to this angle A.
A mnemonic that will help you remember this ratio easily: T. O. A. TOA is a mnemonic for tangent, opposite, and adjacent.
