Tan 25 Degrees
The value of tan 25 degrees is 0.4663076. . .. Tan 25 degrees in radians is written as tan (25° × π/180°), i.e., tan (5π/36) or tan (0.436332. . .). In this article, we will discuss the methods to find the value of tan 25 degrees with examples.
- Tan 25° in decimal: 0.4663076. . .
- Tan (-25 degrees): -0.4663076. . .
- Tan 25° in radians: tan (5π/36) or tan (0.4363323 . . .)
What is the Value of Tan 25 Degrees?
The value of tan 25 degrees in decimal is 0.466307658. . .. Tan 25 degrees can also be expressed using the equivalent of the given angle (25 degrees) in radians (0.43633 . . .)
We know, using degree to radian conversion, θ in radians = θ in degrees × (pi/180°)
⇒ 25 degrees = 25° × (π/180°) rad = 5π/36 or 0.4363 . . .
∴ tan 25° = tan(0.4363) = 0.4663076. . .
Explanation:
For tan 25 degrees, the angle 25° lies between 0° and 90° (First Quadrant). Since tangent function is positive in the first quadrant, thus tan 25° value = 0.4663076. . .
Since the tangent function is a periodic function, we can represent tan 25° as, tan 25 degrees = tan(25° + n × 180°), n ∈ Z.
⇒ tan 25° = tan 205° = tan 385°, and so on.
Note: Since, tangent is an odd function, the value of tan(-25°) = -tan(25°).
Methods to Find Value of Tan 25 Degrees
The tangent function is positive in the 1st quadrant. The value of tan 25° is given as 0.46630. . .. We can find the value of tan 25 degrees by:

- Using Unit Circle
Tan 25° in Terms of Trigonometric Functions
Using trigonometry formulas, we can represent the tan 25 degrees as:
- sin(25°)/cos(25°)
- ± sin 25°/√(1 - sin²(25°))
- ± √(1 - cos²(25°))/cos 25°
- ± 1/√(cosec²(25°) - 1)
- ± √(sec²(25°) - 1)
- 1/cot 25°
Note: Since 25° lies in the 1st Quadrant, the final value of tan 25° will be positive.
We can use trigonometric identities to represent tan 25° as,
- cot(90° - 25°) = cot 65°
- -cot(90° + 25°) = -cot 115°
- -tan (180° - 25°) = -tan 155°
Tan 25 Degrees Using Unit Circle
To find the value of tan 25 degrees using the unit circle:
- Rotate ‘r’ anticlockwise to form 25° angle with the positive x-axis.
- The tan of 25 degrees equals the y-coordinate(0.4226) divided by x-coordinate(0.9063) of the point of intersection (0.9063, 0.4226) of unit circle and r.
Hence the value of tan 25° = y/x = 0.4663 (approx).
