Answer:
tan (15°) = 2 - √3
Step-by-step explanation:
Tan (30° ) = tan (2*15°)
1/√3 = 2 tan (15°) / (1- tan ²(15°))
√3 = (1- tan ²(15°) / 2 tan (15°)
tan ²(15°) + 2√3 tan (15°) -1 =0
tan (15°) = -2√3 + √ (2√3)² -4 (1)(-1) / 2(1)
= -2√3±√16 / 2
= -√3±2
So,
tan (15°) = 2 - √3 or - (2 + √3)
As, tan 15° falls in the first quadrant, tan (15°) > 0
Therefore,
tan (15°) = 2 - √3
On simplification we get, 0.26794919243.
