Tan 499 Degrees

The value of tan 499 degrees is -0.8692867. . .. Tan 499 degrees in radians is written as tan (499° × π/180°), i.e., tan (8.709192. . .). In this article, we will discuss the methods to find the value of tan 499 degrees with examples.

• Tan 499° in decimal: -0.8692867. . .
• Tan (-499 degrees): 0.8692867. . .
• Tan 499° in radians: tan (8.7091929 . . .)

What is the Value of Tan 499 Degrees?

The value of tan 499 degrees in decimal is -0.869286737. . .. Tan 499 degrees can also be expressed using the equivalent of the given angle (499 degrees) in radians (8.70919 . . .)

We know, using degree to radian conversion, θ in radians = θ in degrees × (pi/180°)
⇒ 499 degrees = 499° × (π/180°) rad = 8.7091 . . .
∴ tan 499° = tan(8.7091) = -0.8692867. . .

Explanation:

For tan 499°, the angle 499° > 360°. We can represent tan 499° as, tan(499° mod 360°) = tan(139°). The angle 499°, coterminal to angle 139°, is located in the Second Quadrant(Quadrant II).
Since tangent function is negative in the 2nd quadrant, thus tan 499 degrees value = -0.8692867. . .
Similarly, given the periodic property of tan 499°, it can also be written as, tan 499 degrees = (499° + n × 180°), n ∈ Z.
⇒ tan 499° = tan 679° = tan 859°, and so on.
Note: Since, tangent is an odd function, the value of tan(-499°) = -tan(499°).

Methods to Find Value of Tan 499 Degrees

The tangent function is negative in the 2nd quadrant. The value of tan 499° is given as -0.86928. . .. We can find the value of tan 499 degrees by:

• -tan (180° - 499°) = -tan(-319°)

Tan 499 Degrees Using Unit Circle

To find the value of tan 499 degrees using the unit circle, represent 499° in the form (1 × 360°) + 139° [∵ 499°>360°] ∵ The angle 499° is coterminal to 139° angle and also tangent is a periodic function, tan 499° = tan 139°.

• Rotate ‘r’ anticlockwise to form 139° or 499° angle with the positive x-axis.
• The tan of 499 degrees equals the y-coordinate(0.6561) divided by x-coordinate(-0.7547) of the point of intersection (-0.7547, 0.6561) of unit circle and r.

Hence the value of tan 499° = y/x = -0.8693 (approx).
