TAN(radians)
| TAN | Returns tangent. |
| radians | A numeric constant, variable or expression for the angle in radians. p is a constant which represents the ratio of the circumference and radius of a circle. There are 2p radians (or 360 degrees) in a circle. |
The TAN procedure returns the trigonometric tangent of an angle measured in radians. The tangent is the ratio of the angle's opposite side divided by its adjacent side.
Return Data Type: REAL
Example:
PI EQUATE(3.1415926535898) !The value of PI
Rad2Deg EQUATE(57.295779513082) !Number of degrees in a radian
Deg2Rad EQUATE(0.0174532925199) !Number of radians in a degree
CODE
Angle = 45 * Deg2Rad !Translate 45 degrees to Radians
TangentAngle = TAN(Angle) !Get the tangent of 45 degree angle
