Theorem
- $\tan 360^\circ = \tan 2 \pi = 0$
where $\tan$ denotes tangent.
Proof
\(\ds \tan 360^\circ\) | \(=\) | \(\ds \tan \left({360^\circ - 0^\circ}\right)\) | ||||||||||||
\(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds -\tan 0\) | Tangent of Conjugate Angle | |||||||||||
\(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds 0\) | Tangent of Zero |
$\blacksquare$
