In this lesson, we will learn how to find an angle in a right triangle using the tangent ratio.

Students will be able to

use right triangles to find tangent ratios,
use special right triangles to find the tangent ratios for , , and ,
use the tangent ratio to find missing lengths in right triangles,
use the inverse tangent ratio to find missing angle measures in right triangles,
solve more complex problems, such as using the tangent ratio or inverse tangent ratio in combination with the Pythagorean theorem, simple 2D shape properties, or coordinate geometry.
