    Tan 26 Degrees

    Sin, Cos, Tan, Cot of an Angle
    Function
    Angle (°)

    What is tan 26°?

    Answer

    tan 26° ≈
    0.4877

    Angle in radians: 26° = 13π/90. The point of the angle is in quadrant I, where tangent is positive.

    ≈ — rounded to 4 decimal places. tan 26° can't be written with square roots: 26° is not a multiple of 3°.

    tan 26° = sin 26° / cos 26° ≈ 0.4877

    xyOP

    P(cos 26°, sin 26°) ≈ (0.8988, 0.4384)

    T(1, tan 26°) ≈ (1, 0.4877) — where line OP meets the line x = 1.

    FAQ

    What is tan 26°?

    tan 26° ≈ 0.4877

    Why does tan 26° 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°. 26° is not, so no such exact form exists; the value is used as a decimal: tan 26° ≈ 0.4877.

    Why does a calculator show 1.1788 for tan 26?

    The calculator is in radian mode (RAD): it takes tan 26 as the tangent of 26 radians, tan 26 rad ≈ 1.1788. Switch it to degrees (DEG): tan 26° ≈ 0.4877. In radians the value is never undefined: π is irrational, so a whole number of radians never lands exactly on an axis.
