Find the value of tan for the angle 45 degrees on the unit circle
To find the value of $\tan 45^{\circ}$ on the unit circle, we use the definition of $\tan$:
$$\tan \theta = \frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta}$$
For $\theta = 45^{\circ}$, we know that $\sin 45^{\circ} = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$ and $\cos 45^{\circ} = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$.
Substituting these values in, we get:
$$\tan 45^{\circ} = \frac{\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}}{\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}} = 1$$
So, the value of $\tan 45^{\circ}$ is 1.
