How the calculation works

In a right triangle, sin = opposite/hypotenuse, cos = adjacent/hypotenuse and tan = opposite/adjacent. To compute, degrees are converted to radians (×π/180).

Frequently asked questions

Why is tan 90° undefined?

Because cos 90° is zero, and tangent is sine ÷ cosine (division by zero).
