Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the value of tan(60°)?
  • Step 1: Understand that tan(60°) is a trigonometric function that relates to a right triangle.
  • Step 2: Recall that in a 30-60-90 triangle, the sides are in the ratio 1 : √3 : 2.
  • Step 3: Identify that for tan(θ), we use the formula tan(θ) = opposite/adjacent.
  • Step 4: For 60°, the opposite side is √3 and the adjacent side is 1.
  • Step 5: Calculate tan(60°) = opposite/adjacent = √3/1.
  • Step 6: Simplify the fraction to get tan(60°) = √3.
