how do you enter tan 24°48\' into the calculator? I am trying to solve a triangle and this is the angle in the question, thanks

Solution

To find the value of tan 24°48\', first we need to convert the angle in degrees, that is convert minutes into degrees.

here 48\'=48/60 = 0.8 degree.

so 24°48\'=24+0.8=24.8°

Now to find the value of tan24.8°, first enter 24.8 in your calculator and then hit tan button to get the required result. Make sure that the calculator is in degrees mode.

Hence tan 24.8°=0.46206
