    What is arctan(1)?

    Answer

    arctan(1) =
    45° = π/4

    Range: arctan x is an angle strictly between −90° and 90°, so the answer is unique.

    arctan(1) is the angle α in (−90°, 90°) with tan α = 1.

    α = arctan(1) = 45°

    P(cos 45°, sin 45°) = (√2/2, √2/2)

    T(1, 1) is where line OP meets the line x = 1; highlighted: tan α = 1.

    FAQ

    What is arctan(1)?

    arctan(1) = 45° = π/4

    How to find arctan(1) from a table of tangents?

    Look in the table for the angle α in (−90°, 90°) with tan α = 1: it is 45°, or π/4 in radians.

    Why does a calculator show 0.7854 for arctan(1)?

    The calculator is in radian mode (RAD) and gives the angle in radians: arctan(1) = π/4 ≈ 0.7854 rad. In degrees (DEG) it is 45°.
