Question

Write in terms of confunction of a complementary angle:tan 26°

Answer 1

The cofunction of tan 36 degrees is cot 54 degrees

Explanation

Given information

`\text{tan 26}\degree`

Co function of tan can be written below as

`\begin{gathered} \tan \text{ }(A)\text{ = cot (B)} \\ \text{if, A + B = 90} \end{gathered}`
`\begin{gathered} \text{tan 36 = cot (90 - 36)} \\ \tan \text{ 36 = cot 54} \end{gathered}`

Therefore,

tan 36 = 0.7265

cot 54 = 0.7265

Hence, the cofunction of tan 36 is cot 54
