Can you go through the steps with me?

amorfide · Answer

you would literally just use a calculator

and leave it as a fraction or root

I can't use a calculator for this part, and tan is 45 degrees and sin is 30 degrees?

amorfide · Answer

then you gotta remember your triangles 'I am useless here I will let rishavraj explain

rishavraj · Answer

see tan 45  = 1

anonymous · Answer

Where are you getting those numbers from?

rishavraj · Answer

anonymous · Answer

Ohh I see

rishavraj · Answer

sin 45 = cos 45  = $$1/\sqrt{2}$$
and tan 45 = sin45/cos 45

anonymous · Answer

I'm sorry I'm not understanding
For my final answer I'm supposed to get 1/2

rishavraj · Answer

tan 45 = 1              sin 30 = $$\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }$$
plug the values

anonymous · Answer

I see where the sin30=1/2 comes from but where does the tan45=1 come from?
