What is the exact value of tan(30 degrees)?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. sqrt(3)/3
- Step 1: Use the special right triangles for 30 degrees.
- Step 2: tan(30 degrees) = sqrt(3)/3.
Answer
sqrt(3)/3.
Why not the others: These are the exact values of other standard angle-function pairs; check which side ratio defines the function.
