Theorem
- $\tan 210 \degrees = \tan \dfrac {7 \pi} 6 = \dfrac {\sqrt 3} 3$
where $\tan$ denotes tangent.
Proof
| \(\ds \tan 210 \degrees\) | \(=\) | \(\ds \map \tan {360 \degrees - 150 \degrees}\) | ||||||||||||
| \(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds -\tan 150 \degrees\) | Tangent of Conjugate Angle | |||||||||||
| \(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds \frac {\sqrt 3} 3\) | Tangent of $150 \degrees$ |
$\blacksquare$
