Math Problem Statement

2.1/tan69

Solution

To compute the expression 2.1tan(69)\frac{2.1}{\tan(69^\circ)}, we need to find the value of tan(69)\tan(69^\circ) first.

Step-by-Step Solution

  1. The tangent of an angle is defined as:

tan(69)=sin(69)cos(69)\tan(69^\circ) = \frac{\sin(69^\circ)}{\cos(69^\circ)}

  1. The approximate value of tan(69)\tan(69^\circ) is about 2.60512.6051.

  2. Now, compute:

2.1tan(69)=2.12.6051\frac{2.1}{\tan(69^\circ)} = \frac{2.1}{2.6051}

Let's calculate this value.The value of the expression 2.1tan(69)\frac{2.1}{\tan(69^\circ)} is approximately 0.8060.806.
