SOLUTION: Evaluate the following to 4 decimal places. tan3.75 radians I put down... tan3.75(pi) 15(pi)/(divided by)4=180/(pi) tan675-(360) tan45=-1.0000 but i got it wrong on my test,

Question 33795: Evaluate the following to 4 decimal places. tan3.75 radians
I put down...
tan3.75(pi)
15(pi)/(divided by)4=180/(pi)
tan675-(360)
tan45=-1.0000
but i got it wrong on my test, can you show me what i did wrong?

Evaluate the following to 4 decimal places. tan3.75 radians
I put down...
tan3.75(pi)...NO...IT IS SIMPLY TAN(3.75).....IF YOU WANT TO CONVERT RADIANS TO DEGREES USE THE RELATION....PI RADIANS =180 DEGREES
SO 3.75 RADIANS =3.75RADIANS*180DEGREES/PI RADIANS=3.75*180/PI DEGREEES
=215 DEGREES
HENCE TAN(215)=TAN(180+35)=TAN(35)=0.69655...ROUNDED TO 4 DECIMALS WE GET
TAN(35)=0.6966

but i got it wrong on my test, can you show me what i did wrong?
