what is the tan of 25 degrees and 01 minute

on your calculator enter:

25
+
1
÷
60
=
2nd F
tan
=

you should get .466661846

actually on my calculator I have a button labeled
DºM'S which allows me to enter time in the base 60 mode, as well as angles

so
2nd F
tan
25
DºM'S
1
=

I got the same answer as above

forget the 2nd F bit in both cases. should have said:

To find the tangent (tan) of an angle, you can use a calculator or trigonometric tables. However, I can walk you through the process of finding the answer manually.

1. First, you need to convert the angle from degrees and minutes to decimal degrees. To do this, divide the number of minutes by 60 and add it to the original number of degrees.

25 degrees 01 minute = 25 + (1/60) = 25.0167 degrees

2. Once you have the angle in decimal degrees, you can use a scientific calculator or trigonometric tables to find the tangent of the angle.

Using a scientific calculator:
- Set your calculator to degree mode.
- Enter the angle in decimal degrees (25.0167).
- Press the tangent button (tan).
- The calculator will give you the value of the tangent, which is approximately 0.4663.

Using trigonometric tables:
- Look for the angle closest to 25 degrees in the table.
- Find the corresponding value for the tangent.
- If your table has increments of 1 degree, you can use the value for 25 degrees. Otherwise, you will have to interpolate.
- The value you find will be the approximate tangent of the angle.

Therefore, the tangent of 25 degrees and 01 minute is approximately 0.4663.
