Question

HOW do you find the value of TAN 88 degrees 22' 45'' and COT 36 degrees???

Answer 1

Part 1
We want to find the tan of 88 degrees, 22' 45''.

88° 22' 45''
= 88 + 22/60 + 45/3600 degrees
= 88.3792°

From the calculator, obtain
tan(88.3792°) = 35.3409

Answer: 35.3409

Part 2
We want to find cot(36°).

By definition, cot(x) = 1/tan(x).
From the calculator, obtain
tan(36°) = 0.7265
Therefore
cot(36°) = 1/0.7265 = 1.3764

Answer: 1.3764
