about tangent formula

[Mike Ang]

Hi all, i did try to use tangent (radians) for my app, 

when i compared by toggle between Sin and Tan, both answer is same. is there some wrong coding ?

[TimAI2]

I am not seeing that - see attached test aia

Tan() takes degrees, not radians.

See http://appinventor.mit.edu/explore/ai2/support/blocks/math.html#tan

Because converting degrees to radians results in a smaller value,

your sin() and tan() values will be close together for small input values.

Thank Tim, i convert from degree to radians and the result is same, both sini and tan = 0.01371...

Dear ABG thanks for advise... will test out

[Mike Ang]

Thank you both ABG and TIM, it works.

Since it only take in Degree, i do not need to convert it to Radian.

Thanks a million for fast respond and quick support. cheers

For the benefit of the next guy,

here's proof using Do It on the easiest of all angles,

45 degrees.
