Evaluate tan 300° without using a calculator by using ratios in a reference triangle. negative square root of three square root of three divided by three square root of three negative square root of three divided by three
Accepted Solution
A:
300 - 270 = 30
so the angles is in the third quadrant and adjacent and opposite side are negative so tan 300 = tan 30 = 1 / sqrt3 = sqrt3 / 3
