Tan 24 Degrees
Sin, Cos, Tan, Cot of an Angle
What is tan 24°?
Answer
tan 24° ≈
0.4452
Angle in radians: 24° = 2π/15. The point of the angle is in quadrant I, where tangent is positive.
≈ — rounded to 4 decimal places. An exact form of tan 24° in square roots exists, but it is unwieldy — nested radicals.
tan 24° = sin 24° / cos 24° ≈ 0.4452
P(cos 24°, sin 24°) ≈ (0.9135, 0.4067)
T(1, tan 24°) ≈ (1, 0.4452) — where line OP meets the line x = 1.

FAQ
What is tan 24°?
tan 24° ≈ 0.4452
Is there an exact value of tan 24°?
Yes: 24° is a multiple of 3°, and the values of such angles can be written with square roots — but the expression is unwieldy, with nested radicals built from the values of 18° and 15° (3° = 18° − 15°). In practice the decimal is used: tan 24° ≈ 0.4452.
Why does a calculator show −2.1349 for tan 24?
The calculator is in radian mode (RAD): it takes tan 24 as the tangent of 24 radians, tan 24 rad ≈ −2.1349. Switch it to degrees (DEG): tan 24° ≈ 0.4452. In radians the value is never undefined: π is irrational, so a whole number of radians never lands exactly on an axis.
