    Function
    Angle (°)

    What is tan 306°?

    Answer

    tan 306° =
    −√(25 + 10√5)/5 ≈ −1.3764

    Angle in radians: 306° = 17π/10. The point of the angle is in quadrant IV, where tangent is negative.

    ≈ — rounded to 4 decimal places.

    tan 306° = tan(360° − 54°) = −tan 54° = −√(25 + 10√5)/5

    tan 306° = sin 306° / cos 306° = (−(√5 + 1)/4) / (√(10 − 2√5)/4) = −√(25 + 10√5)/5

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

    tan 54° = cot 36° = cos 36° / sin 36° = √(25 + 10√5)/5

    xyOP

    P(cos 306°, sin 306°) ≈ (0.5878, −0.8090)

    T(1, tan 306°) ≈ (1, −1.3764) — where line OP meets the line x = 1.

    FAQ

    What is tan 306°?

    tan 306° = −√(25 + 10√5)/5 ≈ −1.3764

    How are sin 36° and cos 54° related?

    They are equal: sin α = cos(90° − α), and 36° + 54° = 90°. So sin 36° = cos 54° = √(10 − 2√5)/4, cos 36° = sin 54° = (√5 + 1)/4, and tan 36° = cot 54° = √(5 − 2√5).

    Why does a calculator show 3.1732 for tan 306?

    The calculator is in radian mode (RAD): it takes tan 306 as the tangent of 306 radians, tan 306 rad ≈ 3.1732. Switch it to degrees (DEG): tan 306° = −√(25 + 10√5)/5 ≈ −1.3764. In radians the value is never undefined: π is irrational, so a whole number of radians never lands exactly on an axis.
