Answer

Final Answer: \(\tan 26^\circ = \cot(90^\circ - 26^\circ) = \boxed{0.4877325885658615}\).

Steps

Step 1 ：Use the cofunction identity for tangent, which is \(\tan(\theta) = \cot(90^\circ - \theta)\).

Step 2 ：Substitute \(\theta\) with 26 degrees to get \(\tan 26^\circ = \cot(90^\circ - 26^\circ)\).

Step 3 ：Calculate \(\cot(90^\circ - 26^\circ)\) to get the final answer.

Step 4 ：Final Answer: \(\tan 26^\circ = \cot(90^\circ - 26^\circ) = \boxed{0.4877325885658615}\).
