    Tan 50 Degrees

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

    What is tan 50°?

    Answer

    tan 50° ≈
    1.1918

    Angle in radians: 50° = 5π/18. The point of the angle is in quadrant I, where tangent is positive.

    ≈ — rounded to 4 decimal places. tan 50° can't be written with square roots: 50° is not a multiple of 3°.

    tan 50° = sin 50° / cos 50° ≈ 1.1918

    xyOP

    P(cos 50°, sin 50°) ≈ (0.6428, 0.7660)

    T(1, tan 50°) ≈ (1, 1.1918) — where line OP meets the line x = 1.

    FAQ

    What is tan 50°?

    tan 50° ≈ 1.1918

    Why does tan 50° 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°. 50° is not, so no such exact form exists; the value is used as a decimal: tan 50° ≈ 1.1918.

    Why does a calculator show −0.2719 for tan 50?

    The calculator is in radian mode (RAD): it takes tan 50 as the tangent of 50 radians, tan 50 rad ≈ −0.2719. Switch it to degrees (DEG): tan 50° ≈ 1.1918. In radians the value is never undefined: π is irrational, so a whole number of radians never lands exactly on an axis.
