How many degrees is an angle with a tangens of 0,04?

 

[Seppo]

I don't know.

 

[Seppo]

Do you mean tangent? I think it's ~6,98

edit: 6,98*(1/10000)

haha I don't know... that's what i got

 

[PJ]

tangen=tangent in german/dutch it seems. dont know for sure.

 

[Shakermaker]

Yup, that was a Dutchism. Sorry for the misunderstanding. And thanks Seppo!

 

[Seppo]

And thanks Seppo!

I'm probably wrong though. but you're welcome!

edit: another option is 2,29. You decide which one sounds better.

Prolly your first option. It should be the glide angle for an airplane.

 

[Seppo]

It's definitely not 6,98 because I made a mistake with that. There's an 80% chance that the correct answer is 2,29 instead.

 

[Shakermaker]

Yeah, that seems correct. My dad wanted to know this. he did some researching himself and that was the angle he ended up with as well.

 

[Insano]

It's just Bgtan(0.04), any advanced calculator can do that.

What the hell is this comma business. DECIMAL POINT, NOT DECIMAL LITTLE-CURVED-LINE

Most europeans use comma in math instead of point, both in speech and writing.

 

[Xevrex]

Ahem.

Tan-1 0.4

Yeah, 2.9.

 

[DEATHMASTER]

get a TI-83 bitch.

 

[Shakermaker]

I had one of those back in high school. That was a looong time ago.

 

[DEATHMASTER]

Same, I still have mine though
