    What is tan 198°?

    Answer

    tan 198° =
    √(25 − 10√5)/5 ≈ 0.3249

    Angle in radians: 198° = 11π/10. The point of the angle is in quadrant III, where tangent is positive.

    ≈ — rounded to 4 decimal places.

    tan 198° = tan(180° + 18°) = tan 18° = √(25 − 10√5)/5

    tan 198° = sin 198° / cos 198° = (−(√5 − 1)/4) / (−√(10 + 2√5)/4) = √(25 − 10√5)/5

    Regular pentagon (golden ratio): cos 36° = (√5 + 1)/4.

    tan 18° = sin 18° / cos 18° = √(25 − 10√5)/5

    xyOP

    P(cos 198°, sin 198°) ≈ (−0.9511, −0.3090)

    T(1, tan 198°) ≈ (1, 0.3249) — where line OP meets the line x = 1, on the extension of the ray beyond O (dashed).

    Tan 198 Degrees: Tangent of 198° on the Unit Circle. tan 198° = √(25 − 10√5)/5 ≈ 0.3249. The tangent is the ratio y/x of the point at 198° on the unit circle; 198° reduces to 18°.

    FAQ

    What is tan 198°?

    tan 198° = √(25 − 10√5)/5 ≈ 0.3249

    How are sin 18° and cos 72° related?

    They are equal: sin α = cos(90° − α), and 18° + 72° = 90°. So sin 18° = cos 72° = (√5 − 1)/4, cos 18° = sin 72° = √(10 + 2√5)/4, and tan 18° = cot 72° = √(25 − 10√5)/5.

    Why does a calculator show 0.0798 for tan 198?

    The calculator is in radian mode (RAD): it takes tan 198 as the tangent of 198 radians, tan 198 rad ≈ 0.0798. Switch it to degrees (DEG): tan 198° = √(25 − 10√5)/5 ≈ 0.3249. In radians the value is never undefined: π is irrational, so a whole number of radians never lands exactly on an axis.
