Trigonometry
Tangent Calculator
Calculates the tangent of an angle entered in degrees, representing the ratio of opposite to adjacent in a right triangle (or rise/run for a slope). Use it when finding the slope of a line, sizing roof pitch, or measuring height from a known horizontal distance.

Trigonometry
Sine Calculator
Calculates the sine of an angle entered in degrees, returning a value between −1 and 1. Use it when solving right triangles, decomposing vector components, modeling waves, or working through trigonometry homework.
