4.01 Trigonometric ratios

Interactive practice questions

Write down the ratio represented by $\tan\theta$tanθ.

A right-angled triangle labeled with vertices A, B, and C is shown. The angle at vertex A is labeled $\alpha$α. The angle at vertex B is labeled $\theta$θ. The angle at vertex C is a right angle as indicated by a small square. Side AB is the hypotenuse. Side AC is opposite angle $\theta$θ. Side BC is adjacent to angle $\theta$θ. Side AC is adjacent to angle $\alpha$α. Side BC is opposite angle $\alpha$α
