compute tan 45/2 (degrees)

To compute the tangent of 45/2 degrees, we can follow these steps:

 

Convert the angle to radians:

 

First, we need to convert the angle from degrees to radians. We can use the conversion factor π radians = 180 degrees. Therefore:

 

tan(45/2 degrees) = tan((45/2) * (π/180) radians)

 

Evaluate the tangent function:

 

Next, we can simply evaluate the tangent function of the converted angle:

 

tan((45/2) * (π/180) radians) ≈ 0.996295
