Tan 164 Degrees
Sin, Cos, Tan, Cot of an Angle
What is tan 164°?
Answer
tan 164° ≈
−0.2867
Angle in radians: 164° = 41π/45. The point of the angle is in quadrant II, where tangent is negative.
≈ — rounded to 4 decimal places. tan 164° can't be written with square roots: 164° is not a multiple of 3°.
tan 164° = tan(180° − 16°) = −tan 16° ≈ −0.2867
tan 164° = sin 164° / cos 164° ≈ −0.2867
P(cos 164°, sin 164°) ≈ (−0.9613, 0.2756)
T(1, tan 164°) ≈ (1, −0.2867) — where line OP meets the line x = 1, on the extension of the ray beyond O (dashed).

FAQ
What is tan 164°?
tan 164° ≈ −0.2867
Why does tan 164° have no exact value?
A trigonometric value of a whole number of degrees can be written with square roots only when the angle is a multiple of 3°. 164° is not, so no such exact form exists; the value is used as a decimal: tan 164° ≈ −0.2867.
Why does a calculator show 0.7402 for tan 164?
The calculator is in radian mode (RAD): it takes tan 164 as the tangent of 164 radians, tan 164 rad ≈ 0.7402. Switch it to degrees (DEG): tan 164° ≈ −0.2867. In radians the value is never undefined: π is irrational, so a whole number of radians never lands exactly on an axis.
