Tan 45 Degrees

tan(45°) = 1.

Answer

tan(45°) = 1. The angle 45° equals π/4 radians (45 × π/180).

This is an exact value: 1.

Where 45° sits on the unit circle

45° lies quadrant I. Remember that tangent is positive in quadrants I and III, and negative in the others, which decides the sign of the answer.

How to calculate tan 45° on a scientific calculator

  1. Set the calculator to DEG (degrees) mode.
  2. Press tan.
  3. Type 45.
  4. Press = to get 1.

If you get a different number, the calculator is probably in RAD mode. In radians you would enter π/4 instead of 45.
