Find the Exact Value tan(57/82)
Problem
Solution
Identify the task as finding the exact value of the tangent of a real number (given in radians).
Determine if the angle
57/82 corresponds to a standard reference angle (such asπ/6 π/4 orπ/3 .Compare the value to
π Sinceπ≈3.14159 the value57/82≈0.695 is not a simple rational multiple ofπ that results in a standard exact form involving square roots.Conclude that because the input is not a standard multiple of
π the expression cannot be simplified further into a radical or integer form.
