Tangent - practice problems
Tangent is a trigonometric function. In a rectangular triangle, it is the ratio of the opposite and adjacent side to a given internal angle. Algebraically is defined as the ratio of the sine and cosine of a given angle. It is periodic with a period of π = 180 °.Number of problems found: 307

A tree breaks due to storm and the broken part bends so that the top of the tree touches the ground making an angle 30° with it. The distance between the foot of the tree to the point where the top touches the ground is 8 m. Find the height of the tree. - The angle 9
The angle of elevation of the top of a tower from a point A on the ground is 30°. On moving a distance of 20 m towards the foot of the tower to a point B, the angle of elevation increases to 60°. Find the height of the tower and the distance of the tower - Angle and slope
Find the angle between the x-axis and the line joining the points (3, -1) and (4,-2) . - Angle of elevation
From a point A on the ground, the angle of elevation of the top of a 20 m tall of a building is 45°. A flag is hoisted at the top of the building and the angle of elevation of the top of the flagstaff from A is 60°. Find the length of the flagstaff and th - Two men 2
Two men are on opposite sides of a tower. They measure the angles of elevation of the top of the tower as 30° and 45°, respectively. If the height of the tower is 50 m, find the distance between the two men. - RT with rectangle
In the diagram, find the lengths h and b. One rectangle and one right triangle share one side. We know two angles and the length of the common side, as shown in the picture. - Elevation angle
A man standing on the deck of a ship, which is 10 m above the water level, observes the angle of elevation of the top of a hill as 60°, and angle of depression of the base of the hill is 30°. Find the distance of the hill from the ship and the height of t - Angle of elevation
The angle of elevation of the top of an unfinished pillar at a point 150 m from its base is 30°. If the angle of elevation at the same point is to be 45°, then the pillar has to be raised to a height of how many meters? - A lighthouse
A lighthouse overlooks a bay, and it is 77 meters high. From the top, the lighthouse keeper can see a yacht southward at an angle of depression of 32 degrees and another boat eastward at an angle of 25 degrees. What is the distance between the boats? - The apothem
