#tan(90^@)# is undefined

Explanation:

By definition, using a reference triangle with hypotenuse of unit length,
#color(white)("XXX")tan(theta) = ("length of opposite side")/("length of adjacent side")#

As #theta rarr 90^@#
#color(white)("XXX")"length of opposite side" rarr 1#
and
#color(white)("XXX")"length of adjacent side" rarr 0#

#1/0# is undefined #rArr tan(90^@)# is undefined.
