Question

Write another term using the tangent ratio that is equivalent to tan 48•

Answer 1

To find another term equivalent to tan 48, we can use the property that the tangent function is periodic with a period of 180 degrees. Since 48 is less than 90, we can subtract 180 from 48 until we get an angle within the range of -90 to 90 degrees.

tan (48° - 180°) = tan (-132°)

Therefore, tan 48 is equivalent to tan (-132°).
