25

Explanation:

Drawing the right angled triangle, you realise that length of opposite side =2 and length of hypotenuse =3 length of adjacent side =3222=5

Thus tan(sin1(23))=oppositeadjacent=25

tan(sin1(23))=±255

Explanation:

If x=sin1(23)
then sin(x)=23

And we have one of the defining triangles below:enter image source here
from which it follows:
tan(sin1(23))=±25=±255
