if sin A=1/3 then tan A will be:
==============
sin = y/r = 1/3
y = 1, r = 3
---
x+=+sqrt%28r%5E2+-+y%5E2%29+=+sqrt%289-1%29+=+2sqrt%282%29
tan = y/x
tan(A) = sqrt(2)/4
=============================
Or,
cos%28A%29+=+sqrt%281+-+sin%5E2%28A%29%29+=+sqrt%288%29%2F3
tan = sin/cos = 1/sqrt(8)
tan = sqrt(2)/4
