The tangent of 0 degrees, or tan(0), is 0.
Here's why:
- Understanding Tangent: The tangent function (tan) in trigonometry represents the ratio of the opposite side to the adjacent side of a right triangle.
- Angle of 0 Degrees: An angle of 0 degrees means the opposite side is essentially non-existent, as the angle is flat.
- Ratio Calculation: With a zero-length opposite side, the ratio of opposite to adjacent becomes 0/adjacent, which simplifies to 0.
Therefore, tan(0) always equals 0.
