Why does tangent function return incorrect values, even after switching to degrees?

When I enter the command: =tan(degrees(30)), I expect the tangent of 30degrees to be returned as 0.57735. Instead, 0.4492185 is returned.


What am I doing wrong, and how do I correct it. Syntax, perhaps?

MacBook (13-inch Aluminum Late 2008), OS X Mavericks (10.9.5)
