What is the cotangent of a 68 degree angle?
The cotangent is the reciprocal of the tangent, so simply calculate, on your scientific calculator, 1 / tan(68).
Where is the inv button on the scientific calculator?
It means inverse, and performs the opposite of the given operation. For example, if you want inverse of tangent, you will use that inv button.
What is the rise per foot in inches of a 30 degree slope?
"Rise per run" or something like that is the tangent function. Use your scientific calculator to calculate tan 30. Be sure to set your calculator to degrees first. Then - since you want the result in inches per foot - multiply this tangent by 12.
How do you find the inverse tangent without a calculator?
You cannot.
How do you find the measure of an angle by using its tangent?
You would have to use its opposite tangent, tan-1on your scientific calculator. It would be tan-1(opposite side/adjacent side), and you must have the opposite and adjacent sides of the angle you are trying to solve.
How do you find the measure of a tangent?
Given only the measure of an angle, use a scientific calculator or a book of mathematical tables (if you can find one!). There are infinite series but they are not particularly easy to work with.
How do you find an angle using sine cosine tangent?
If you know the angle's sine, cosine, or tangent, enter it into the calculator and press <inverse> sine, cosine, or tangent. On MS Calc, in Scientific Mode, using Degrees, enter 0.5, then check Inv and the press sin. You should get 30 degrees. The other functions work similarly.
What does tan mean and how to use it?
TAN on your calculator means TANGENT. In Pythagoras Theorem. Try googling about Pythagoras Theorem and it will answer your questions. Hope this helps.
How do I find the tangent of an angle?
Use a calculator. There is no simple way to calculate it.
Can a Texas instrument graphing calculator also be used as a scientific calculator?
A Texas Instruments graphing calculator can be used as a basic calculator, a scientific calculator and a graphing calculator.
What is the best calculator to get?
A Scientific Calculator
Is a scientific calculator the same as a graph calculator?
No.
