Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the value of tan(90°)? (2022)
  • Step 1: Understand what 'tan' means. 'Tan' is short for tangent, which is a function in trigonometry.
  • Step 2: Know that tangent is defined as the ratio of the opposite side to the adjacent side in a right triangle.
  • Step 3: Recognize that at 90 degrees, there is no triangle because the angle is straight up.
  • Step 4: Since there is no triangle, we cannot find a ratio of sides.
  • Step 5: Therefore, we say that tan(90°) is undefined because we cannot calculate it.
