    Working out the tangent of an angle in c++

    How do I get the tangent of a given angle? I have looked over the functions list on this site and others and all the tan functions seem to be in radians, when I want to use degrees. Could someone help me please?

    thanks

    You can convert radians to degrees by doing yourValue*PI/180.
