Because it tends to infinity.
Additionally, tangent can be expressed as sin theta divided by cos theta. The sine of 90 is 1. The cosine of 90 is 0. That would be 1 divided by 0, or division by zero; which is undefined.

What is the measure of the angle formed between a tangent and the diameter of a circle?
It is 90 degrees between the circle's diameter and its tangent
What is the tangent of 75 degrees?
The tangent of 75 degrees is: 3.7320507852401
If a line is tangent to a circle what angle is formed if a radius is drawn to the point of tangency?
90 degrees. QED.
What is the tangent of 28 degrees?
Tangent is 0.5317
How do you find the tan angle of 4900 and 19600?
Although you haven't expressed it too clearly in your question, I think what you may belooking for is the angle whose tangent is 4,900, and the angle whose tangent is 19,600 .The problem is that the tangent of 89 degrees is about 57.3, and every numberfrom 57.3 all the way up to 'infinity' is the tangent of an angle somewhere in thatlast degree, between 89 and 90 . . . They really bunch up in there !4,900 is the tangent of 89.9883 degrees. (rounded)19,600 is the tangent of 89.9971 degrees. (rounded)
Why is the tangent of 90 degrees undefined?
tan(x) = sin(x) /cos(x).When x = 90 degrees then cos(x) = 0 so tan(x) requires division by zero - which is not defined.
What is the tangent of 90 degrees and deduce reason why the slope of all lines following this formula are parallel to the y-axis?
Everytime you determine on your calculators the tangent of 90 degrees, it returns an electron overflow equivalent to a machine-shriek. This is due to the fact that the formula attempted to divide by zero, thus, the result of TANGENT of 90 degrees is UNDEFINED(Division By ZERO is UNDEFINED/not allowed). All lines following this formula is parallel to the y-axis, including the line on the y-axis itself. Hence, point of tangency is impossible to define since parallel lines NEVER MEET.
Where is tan undefined in trig?
90 degrees is one
Explain why tan270 degrees is undefined?
Just as at 90 degrees, it goes to infinity. That is because tangent of angle is opposite side over adjacent side. The oppsoite side gets bigger and bigger after 45 dgerees ( and in your case then after 225 degrees) until it grows beyond all bounds at 270 degrees
What is the measure of the angle formed between a tangent and the diameter of a circle?
It is 90 degrees between the circle's diameter and its tangent
What type of angle is formed by a tangent and a radius?
The angle between the radius and the tangent is a right angle of 90 degrees.
Why is tangent 180 degrees undefined?
It's not. The tangent of 180 degrees is zero. Consider tan(x) = sin(x)/cos(x). When x = 180 degrees, sin(x) = 0 and cos(x) = -1 and so tan(x) = 0
Where is tangent undefined?
-pi/2 and pi/2
How does the tangent function relate to sine and cosine?
Tangent = sine/cosine provided that cosine is non-zero. When cosine is 0, then tangent is undefined.
What is the arc tangent of pi over two?
The arc tangent is the recicple of the tangent which is also known as the cotangent. The tangent of π/2 is undefined, thus the cotangent would be zero.
Line HA is tangent to the circle If arc AB is 90 degrees and arc AG 20 degrees. What is the measure of angle 1?
35 degrees :)
What is the tangent of 75 degrees?
The tangent of 75 degrees is: 3.7320507852401
