You would have to use its opposite tangent, tan-1on your scientific calculator. It would be tan-1(opposite side/adjacent side), and you must have the opposite and adjacent sides of the angle you are trying to solve.

How do you find how many degrees a shape is without a protractor?

The degree of an angle can be determined using the tangent function. From one ray of the angle, draw a perpendicular line until it intersects the other ray of the angle. Measure the length of the first ray (A) and the perpendicular line (B) and set as a ratio of B/A. This ratio is equal to the tangent of the angle.

How do you find the measure of a tangent?

Given only the measure of an angle, use a scientific calculator or a book of mathematical tables (if you can find one!). There are infinite series but they are not particularly easy to work with.

How do you use sine cosine and tangent?

They are used to find the angle or side measurement of a right triangle. For example, if 2 sides of a right triangle have known values and an angle has a known measurement, you can find the third side by using sine, cosine or tangent.

How do you find an angle using sine cosine tangent?

If you know the angle's sine, cosine, or tangent, enter it into the calculator and press <inverse> sine, cosine, or tangent. On MS Calc, in Scientific Mode, using Degrees, enter 0.5, then check Inv and the press sin. You should get 30 degrees. The other functions work similarly.
