You can use the tangent You can use the tangent ratio to find the measure of ratio to find the measure of a distance that is difficult to a distance that is difficult to
measure directly.measure directly. Example 1: Find w.Example 1: Find w.

Step 1: Set up the Tan Ratio
Tan y = oppadj
Tan y =512
Tan y = .4167
At this point you will use the Tan-1:
1)Hit shift Tan to get to
Tan-1(
2) Type in the decimal and hit enter
Tan-1 (.4167) =
