What happens to the tangent of an angle as the measure of the angle gets close to ninety degrees?

As you approach from less than 90°, the tangent of the angle increases towards positive infinity.As you approach from greater than 90°, the tangent approaches negative infinity.Example:tan(89°) = 57.29tan(89.9°) = 572.96tan(91°) = -57.29tan(90.1°) = -572.96


Why does the tangent of a particular angle always have the same value?

Because the tangent is a function of with the angle as its argument.
