What is tan equal to?

The tangent of x is defined to be its sine divided by its cosine: tan x = sin x cos x . ... The secant of x is 1 divided by the cosine of x: sec x = 1 cos x , and the cosecant of x is defined to be 1 divided by the sine of x: csc x = 1 sin x .

Is tan sin or COS?

The formulas to find the sin, cos, and tan for any angle θ in any right-angled triangle are given below, sin θ = Opposite/Hypotenuse. cos θ = Adjacent/Hypotenuse. tan θ = Opposite/Adjacent.
