Lesson 4.7 - Tangent Function

This document discusses the tangent function and how to use it to determine the degree measure of angles in right triangles. It defines tangent as the ratio of the opposite side to the adjacent side. Examples are provided to demonstrate calculating the tangent of angles and using it to find the degree measure. Key objectives covered are determining sides of right triangles, solving trigonometric ratios like tangent, and using tangent to solve for angle measures.
