Many calculator apps can't do this. I recommend that you convert to decimals.

If your Android system is up to date, you simply go onto the calculator application, then tap the rotate symbol, and Tan is right there on the keypad.

Question

What keys do you press for a fraction?

Community Answer

Press the division key. Fractions really mean division. For example, 1/2 means 1 divided by 2, and 56/4 means 56 divided by 4.

Question

Where is the squared button?

I_l1ke_gam3s

Community Answer

Android calculators don't have that. Above, however, it shows there is an "x^y" button, where x is the base and y is the exponent. If you don't want to use that, the formula is x^2 = (x)(x).
