TANGENT()

TANGENT() returns the numeric tangent of an angle that is expressed in radians.

Function Format

TANGENT(radians)

TANGENT() returns the numeric tangent of the measurement of the desired angle in radians.

Note: If your angle is expressed in degrees, use the RADIAN() function to convert the degrees to radians. To round the result of the RADIAN() function, use the DECIMALS() function.

Examples

TANGENT(.7854) = 1.000003673211850

TANGENT(DECIMALS(RADIANS(45),4))= 1.000003673211850
