What units is "20" in? First of all, 20 is not a"standard" angle, so it would be hard to use the identity
tan ( x ) = sin ( x ) cos ( x ) , referring to the unit circles for sin and cos.

To use the Unit Circle, the values have to be between -1 and 1. Or, you could take the value of the sin ( θ ) cos ( θ ) to get the answer, for tan ( θ ) that is.
