Question

How do you find the value of `tan((pi)/4)`?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Start with a square. This has all angles equal to `pi/2` and all sides equal (let's say with length `l`). If you the square in half along one of the diagonals you will get two rectangle triangles with the catets equal to `l` and both acute angles equal to `pi/4`. The `tan(pi/4)` will be the opposite catet divided by the adjacent catet which is:

`l/l=1`
