I have to presume (because you didn't specify) that O stands for the Opposite Side and A stands for the Adjacent Side.

On that basis, remember that the tangent function is defined as the ratio of the opposite side to the adjacent side, hence:



You can go find your own table of trig values but the calculator says:

degrees.
