So, the final answer is \(\boxed{-\frac{1320}{3479}}\).

Steps

Step 1 :We are given that \(\tan A = -\frac{11}{60}\) and we need to find \(\tan (2 A)\).

Step 2 :We know that the formula for \(\tan (2 A)\) is \(\frac{2 \tan A}{1 - \tan^2 A}\).

Step 3 :Substituting \(\tan A = -\frac{11}{60}\) into the formula, we get \(\tan (2 A) = \frac{2 \times -\frac{11}{60}}{1 - (-\frac{11}{60})^2}\).

Step 4 :Simplifying the above expression, we get \(\tan (2 A) = -\frac{1320}{3479}\).

Step 5 :So, the final answer is \(\boxed{-\frac{1320}{3479}}\).
