In a certain right triangle, the two sides that are perpendicular to each other are 7.00 m and 8.30 m long. What is the tangent of the angle for which 7.00 m is the opposite side?

Question

Henry · Accepted Answer

X = 8.30 m. Y = 7.00 m. Tan A = Y/X = 7.00/8.30 = 0.84337

Very helpful since I didn't know what tangent was. Never taken Trig.

Bobpursly, this is in my my physics book at the start of the section about vectors. I'd say that's physics.
