<p>To find the tangent, use the formula: tan θ = sin θ / cos θ For θ = 45 degrees, both sin 45° and cos 45° are equal to √2/2.</p>
29
<p>Therefore, tan 45° = (√2/2) / (√2/2) = 1.</p>
28
<p>Therefore, tan 45° = (√2/2) / (√2/2) = 1.</p>

36
<p>To find the tangent, use the formula: tan θ = sin θ / cos θ</p>
35
<p>To find the tangent, use the formula: tan θ = sin θ / cos θ</p>
37
<p>For θ = 60 degrees, sin 60° = √3/2, and cos 60° = 1/2.</p>
36
<p>For θ = 60 degrees, sin 60° = √3/2, and cos 60° = 1/2.</p>
38
<p>Thus, tan 60° = (√3/2) / (1/2) = √3, approximately 1.732.</p>
37
<p>Thus, tan 60° = (√3/2) / (1/2) = √3, approximately 1.732.</p>
