$\tan (\frac{π}{3})$

Step 1

To convert radians to degrees, multiply by $\frac{180}{π}$ , since a full circle is $360 °$ or $2 π$ radians.

$(\tan (\frac{π}{3})) \cdot \frac{180 °}{π}$

Step 2

The exact value of $\tan (\frac{π}{3})$ is $\sqrt{3}$ .

$\sqrt{3} \cdot \frac{180}{π}$

Step 3

Combine $\sqrt{3}$ and $\frac{180}{π}$ .

$\frac{\sqrt{3} \cdot 180}{π}$

Step 4

Move $180$ to the left of $\sqrt{3}$ .

$\frac{180 \sqrt{3}}{π}$

Step 5

$π$ is approximately equal to $3.14159265$ .

$\frac{180 \sqrt{3}}{3.14159265}$

Step 6

Convert to a decimal.

$99.23920117 °$
