tan(60°) = 1.73205081, exactly √3.
tan(60°) = 1.73205081, exactly √3. The angle 60° equals π/3 radians (60 × π/180).
Exact form: √3. Decimal: 1.73205081 (rounded to 8 places).
60° lies quadrant I. Remember that tangent is positive in quadrants I and III, and negative in the others, which decides the sign of the answer.
If you get a different number, the calculator is probably in RAD mode. In radians you would enter π/3 instead of 60.
