RLC circuit is driven at a frequency
of 550 Hz. The phase angle between the ap-
plied voltage and current is determined from
an oscilloscope measurement to be 75.
If the total resistance is known to be 40
and the inductance is 0.15 H, what is the
capacitance of the circuit?​

Answer in units of μF.

I really dont need much help, I was just wondering if I can use the 75 degrees as it is as the phase angle. Or do I have to convert it to radians, or something else?

And I use this equation, right?

tan∫=(ωL-(ωC)^-1)/R
