find to the nearest ten-thousandth:
tan 10 degrees
can you please explain as well? my math teacher didnt teach us yet and she gave us the assignment.
also...
find the measure of angle A to the nearest degree:
tan A= 0.0875

To do this, you need a scientific or mathematical calculator. You will notice there is a button "tan" on the calculator.
To find out the answer for tan 10 degrees, simply input "tan" on the calculator followed by 10. It should look like this on the calculator: tan 10
Simply press = or ANS to find the answer.
Which will be 0.17632698
rounding it to the nearest ten-thousandth = 0.1763
For the next question, threat it like an algebra question.
tan A = 0.0875
When you want to bring the tan over, it becomes tan to the power of -1. You can find the button in your calculator which looks like this tan-1
Thus,
A=tan-1 0.0875
A= 5 degrees

The only way I know how to do this is to use a calculator, in which case tan(10 degrees) is .1763 and tan-1(0.0875) is 5 degrees

well.. i would basically use a calculator, at my level in math things like that shouldnt be dealt manually anymore haha
to find A do the arctan of .0875 = 5.0006445975584328720963555094813, tan 10 degrees = 0.17632698070846497347109038686862, only copy first 4 decimals lol
there seirously isnt any explanation if there isnt any other information given such as a TRIANGLE for example

hit tan(10 into your calculator and round to the nearest ten thousandth, ans: .1763
for the second one hit tan-1(.0875 into your calculator ans: 5 degrees

tan(10 degrees) = 0.176326981
i just googled it and it came up with the answer, you could also just plug it into a calculator

First off, the calculation F1/F2 does not produce a sum -- it produces a quotient. To calculate an angle if you know its tangent, use the arctan function of the calculator.

For the second one.. I *think* you use inverse tan.. as in
tan A = 0.0875
A = tan^-1 0.0875
A = 5.0006
A = 5
Dunno if that is right or if it helps.
