Tangent

[Sarah]

A tangent line curve, or surface; specifically, that portion ofthe straight line tangent to a curve that is between the point oftangency and a given line, the given line being, for example, theaxis of abscissas, or a radius of a circle produced. SeeTrigonometrical function, under Function. Artificial, or Logarithmic,tangent, the logarithm of the natural tangent of an arc.-- Natural tangent, a decimal expressing the length of the tangentof an arc, the radius being reckoned unity.-- Tangent galvanometer (Elec.), a form of galvanometer having acircular coil and a short needle, in which the tangent of the angleof deflection of the needle is proportional to the strength of thecurrent.-- Tangent of an angle, the natural tangent of the arc subtending ormeasuring the angle.-- Tangent of an arc, a right line, as ta, touching the arc of acircle at one extremity a, and terminated by a line ct, passing fromthe center through the other extremity o.

1.) In geometry, any line in a plane that touches a circle in one, and only one, point.
2.) In trignometry, the ratio of the length on the opposite side of an angle to the length of the adjacent side of an angle.

Noun: A completely and utterly worthless computer company that sells blocks a shit, aka laptops, to college students. The company attempts to conceal their horrible product by including exclusive university features.
