In Exercises 39–48, use a calculator to find the value of the trigonometric function to four decimal places.
tan 32.7°

검증된 단계별 안내
1
Identify the trigonometric function to evaluate, which is the tangent of 32.7 degrees, written as \(\tan 32.7^\circ\).
Make sure your calculator is set to degree mode since the angle is given in degrees, not radians.
Input the angle 32.7 into the calculator and then use the tangent function key to find \(\tan 32.7^\circ\).
Read the value displayed on the calculator, which is the tangent of 32.7 degrees.
Round the result to four decimal places as required by the problem.
