Question

Calculate the value of tan (48°19'23'').

Answer 1

tan (48°19'23'') => 1.1232

Explanation:

60' minutes are present in a degree, and 60 * 60' seconds are present in a degree;

48°19'23'' = 48 + 19/60 + 23/3600

=
`(172800)/(3600)+(1140)/(3600)+(23)/(3600)`

=
`(172800+1140+23)/(3600)`

=
`(173963)/(3600)` = 48.323°

tan(48.323°) = 1.1232
