Evaluate tan(27)

Problem

tan(27)

Solution

1. Identify the task as evaluating the tangent of an angle measured in degrees.

2. Determine if the angle is a standard reference angle (like 30 45 or 60. Since 27 is not a standard angle, a calculator or trigonometric table is required for a decimal approximation.

3. Calculate the value using the tangent function on a calculator set to degree mode.

4. Round the result to a standard number of decimal places, typically four.

Final Answer

tan(27)≈0.5095
