I don't know how to get the answer on my calculator it has tan but no tanA. When I put in 64 tan I get the angle 2.05030 so why can't I get the degree when entering the angle and tan? Do I need a different kind of calculator? I am also trying to measure angles to it's nearest degree using trigonometry. These problems consist of right triangles. One of them is 55 on one side and 51 on the other. The answer is 68 degrees but how do I get that answer?
