Right triangles have 3 sides and can be named according to an angle other than the 90 degree one. They are named opposite, adajacent, and hypotenese.
Then use SOHCAHTOA.
SOH means sin equals opposite/hypotunse.
CAH means cosine equals adjacent/hypotnuse.
TOA means tagent equals opposite/adjacent.
Hard to explain without a diagram. :)

In a right triangle, CosA=0.352 and SinA=0.936 What is the approximate value of tanA?

mr_godi [17]

$\tan A=\frac{\sin A}{\cos A}$

Proof: $\sin\div\cos=\frac{o}h\div\frac{a}h=\frac{o}h\times\frac{h}a=\frac{oh}{ha}=\frac{o}a=\tan$

$\cos A=0.352,\ \sin A=0.936$

$\tan A=\frac{0.936}{0.352}$

$\boxed{\tan A=2.65\overline{90}}$ <em>(round as needed)</em>
