Find the value of tan at π/4 on the unit circle
To find the value of $ \tan(\frac{\pi}{4}) $ on the unit circle, we use the definition of tangent, which is the ratio of sine to cosine:
$$ \tan(\theta) = \frac{\sin(\theta)}{\cos(\theta)} $$
At $ \theta = \frac{\pi}{4} $, both $ \sin(\frac{\pi}{4}) $ and $ \cos(\frac{\pi}{4}) $ are equal to $ \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} $:
$$ \tan(\frac{\pi}{4}) = \frac{\sin(\frac{\pi}{4})}{\cos(\frac{\pi}{4})} = \frac{\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}}{\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}} = 1 $$
