Remark
It is a calculator problem. All you have to do is make sure your calculator is set to degrees.

Definition
The Tangent is defined as

Tan(A) = opposite side / adjacent Side

Givens
A = 37°
adjacent = 2.1
opposite = ???

Sub and solve
Tan (37) = 0.75335
0.75335 = x / 2.1 Multiply both sides by 2.1
2.1 * 0.75335 = x
x = 1.58246 <<<<< answer

NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE: NO DECIMAL.
If there is no decimal between the 2 and the 1 in 2.1 then the answer is
15.246 No Decimal <<<<< ANSWER.

PRECALC QUESTION! Convert the polar representation of this complex number into its standard form: z = 2(cos 11pi/6+ i sin 11pi/6

Tanzania [10]

$\bf z=2\left[ cos\left( \frac{11\pi }{6} \right) + i\ sin\left( \frac{11\pi }{6} \right) \right]\qquad 
\begin{cases}
r=2\\
\theta=\frac{11\pi }{6}\\
-----\\
a=x=rcos(\theta)\\
b=y=rsin(\theta)
\end{cases}\implies a+bi
\\\\\\
2cos\left( \frac{11\pi }{6} \right)+2sin\left( \frac{11\pi }{6} \right)\ i\implies 2\cdot \cfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}+2\cdot \cfrac{-1}{2}\ i\implies \sqrt{3}-1i
\\\\\\
\boxed{\sqrt{3}-i}$
