  1. Determine each tangent ratio using a calculator
    i) tan⁡70∘\tan 70^\circ
    ii) tan⁡−134∘\tan-134^\circ
  2. Determine the angle to the nearest degree using a a calculator
    i) tan⁡θ=0.64\tan \theta = 0.64
    ii) tan⁡θ=−1.45\tan \theta = -1.45
  3. Determine the angles and sides using Tangent
    1. Find angle A and B:

      Use tangent ratio and side lengths of triangle to calculate angles
    2. Find the value of "x" using tangent

      Use tangent ratio, adjacent side and tangent theta to calculate opposite side length
    3. Find the value of "x" using tangent

      Use tangent ratio, adjacent side length and tangent theta to calculate opposite side length
  4. Draw and label a right triangle to illustrate tangent ratio, then calculate the angle.
    1. tan⁡θ=59\tan \theta = {5 \over 9}
