- Tan 19pi/3: √3
- Tan 19pi/3 in decimal: 1.7320508. . .
- Tan (-19pi/3): -1.7320508. . . or -√3
- Tan 19pi/3 in degrees: tan (1140°)
What is the Value of Tan 19pi/3?
The value of tan 19pi/3 in decimal is 1.732050807. . .. Tan 19pi/3 can also be expressed using the equivalent of the given angle (19pi/3) in degrees (1140°).
We know, using radian to degree conversion, θ in degrees = θ in radians × (180°/pi)
⇒ 19pi/3 radians = 19pi/3 × (180°/pi) = 1140° or 1140 degrees
∴ tan 19pi/3 = tan 19π/3 = tan(1140°) = √3 or 1.7320508. . .
Explanation:
For tan 19pi/3, the angle 19pi/3 > 2pi. We can represent tan 19pi/3 as, tan(19pi/3 mod 2pi) = tan(pi/3). The angle 19pi/3, coterminal to angle pi/3, is located in the First Quadrant(Quadrant I).
Since tan function is positive in the 1st quadrant, thus tan 19pi/3 value = √3 or 1.7320508. . .
Similarly, given the periodic property of tan 19pi/3, it can also be written as, tan 19pi/3 = (19pi/3 + n × pi), n ∈ Z.
⇒ tan 19pi/3 = tan 22pi/3 = tan 25pi/3, and so on.
Note: Since, tangent is an odd function, the value of tan(-19pi/3) = -tan(19pi/3).
Methods to Find Value of Tan 19pi/3

Tan 19pi/3 Using Unit Circle
To find the value of tan 19pi/3 using the unit circle, represent 19pi/3 in the form (3 × 2pi) + pi/3 [∵ 19pi/3>2pi] ∵ The angle 19pi/3 is coterminal to pi/3 angle and also tangent is a periodic function, tan 19pi/3 = tan pi/3.
- Rotate ‘r’ anticlockwise to form pi/3 or 19pi/3 angle with the positive x-axis.
- The tan of 19pi/3 equals the y-coordinate(0.866) divided by the x-coordinate(0.5) of the point of intersection (0.5, 0.866) of unit circle and r.
