What is the tan of 38

tan 38 = 0.781

Step-by-step explanation:

Tan is a short form of tangent. from trigonometry  whenever we are given a right angle triangle the tangent is adjacent side divided by the opposite side of the triangle.  tan 38° is constant you can check a four figure table.

see below

sine = opposite / hypothenus

Cosine = adjacent / hypothenus

Tangent = opposite  / adjacent

Tan 38° is a simply the ratio of the opposite side  of the angle 38°  to the side adjacent to the angle given that the angle 38° is constant.

mathematically,

tan 38° = opposite/ adjacent

0.781 = opposite/ adjacent
