Trig Basics: The Tangent Ratio (w/ examples and guided notes!)

In this video, we will investigate one of the building blocks of trigonometry: the tangent ratio. With applications in numerous branches of mathematics, this tangent ratio will set the stage for the other two basic trigonometric functions - sine and cosine. This lesson has a pretty low barrier to entry, so as long as you're able type on a calculator and do some light algebra, I think you'll get a pretty good understanding of how the tangent function works!

If you aren't quite ready for this lesson, need something more advanced, or looking for something completely different, check out some other videos on the channel. You might just find what you're looking for!
