tan theta = 0.107
Therefore theta = 6.14 degrees
How do I come to this conclusion using a calculator?
Thanks

The formula for calculating theta from tantheta is theta = arctan(tantheta).
To find the value of theta from a given tantheta value, you can use a scientific calculator or look up the value in a table of trigonometric functions.
Yes, you can use the inverse tangent function, also known as arctan, to calculate theta from tantheta. This function is available on most scientific calculators and in many programming languages.
Yes, you can also use the inverse tangent identity, where theta = pi/2 - arctan(1/tantheta). This method is useful when the tantheta value is outside the range of -1 to 1.
Yes, you can use a trigonometric table to look up the theta value corresponding to the given tantheta value. However, this method may not be as accurate as using a calculator or the inverse tangent function.
