How do you find the exact value of tan π/4? Trigonometry Right Triangles Trigonometric Functions of Any Angle 1 Answer droog Jun 2, 2018 #tan (pi/4)#=1 Explanation: #pi#=180˚ #therefore# #pi/4#=45˚ hence tan 45˚=1 The reason #pi# equals 180˚ is that the circumference of a circle is 360˚ C=2#pi#r=360˚ which is one full rotation of r now 180˚ is #1/2# a rotation of r which equals #1/2 * 2pi#= #pi# #therefore# #pi=180˚# Answer link Related questions How do you find the trigonometric functions of any angle?
