What is arctan(1/4)?

Answer

arctan(1/4) ≈
14.0362° ≈ 0.2450 rad

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

≈ — the value is not a table one; rounded to 4 decimal places.

1/4 = 0.25.

arctan(1/4) is the angle α in (−90°, 90°) with tan α = 1/4.

tan 14.0362° ≈ 0.2500

α = arctan(1/4) ≈ 14.0362°

P ≈ (0.9701, 0.2425)

T(1, 1/4) is where line OP meets the line x = 1; highlighted: tan α = 1/4.
