By definition in a triangle with a right angle, the tangent compares two of its sides: Tanx = (C.O) / (C.A) Where, x: angle C.O: Opposite leg. C.A: Adjacent leg. Therefore the tangent compares the length of the opposite leg with the length of the adjacent leg. Answer: the tangent compares the length of the opposite leg with the length of the adjacent leg Tanx = (C.O) / (C.A)
