Question

Evaluate. Write your answer as an integer or as a decimal rounded to the nearest hundredth. tan 48° = ____

Answer 1

1.11

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the value of tan 48°, we would apply a calculator as the degree is not a number that we can easily find its rational form in the trigonometry table.

`\tan 48\degree\text{ = }1.1106`
`\begin{gathered} \text{approx imate the number before the hundredth position:} \\ >5,\text{ round to 1} \\ <\text{ 5, round to 0} \\ nu\text{mber in hundredth position is 1. The number after is 0} \\ 0\text{ is l}ess\text{ than 5, round to 0} \end{gathered}`

To the nearest hundredth, tan 48° = 1.11
