Using Ans as a Variable in an Expression Using Ans as a Variable in an Expression
Since
Ans
is a variable, you can use it in expressions just as
you would any other variable. When the expression is
evaluated, the TIN73 uses the value of
Ans
in the calculation.
For more information about variables, see the next two
sections in this chapter entitled, “Storing Values to a Variable”
and “Recalling Variable Values.”
Calculate the area of a garden plot 1.7 meters by 4.2 meters.
