Answer 2

i dont know if it can be help.. Maybe my answer was wrong but try to read first..


Tan is short for tangent. Here we tell you what tan 42 degrees is, how we came up with the answer, and how knowing tan of 42 degrees can be useful.

To calculate tan (42) degrees of a right angled triangle, we use the following equation where angle is 42:

Tan(angle) = Opposite/Adjacent

Tan 42 degrees is simply the ratio of the side opposite of the angle to the side adjacent to the angle. As long as the angle stays at 42 degrees, the ratio does not change and tan 42 degrees is a fixed number. See figure 1 for a better illustration. The answer to "What is tan 42 degrees?" is as follows:

Tan(42) = 0.900
