This example demonstrates the geometric meaning of the tangent function by showing the relationship between an angle and its tangent value through the intersection of a point on the unit circle with a line. Core mathematical concepts include angles, unit circle, tangent function, and trigonometric functions. Construction highlights the use of GeoGebra commands: Angle, Circle, Line, Intersect, Numerator, Denominator, with objects like θ, A, α, eq1, c, f, B, C, a, b. Suitable for high school mathematics education to understand the definition and properties of the tangent function.

GeoGebra Commands & Parameters

  1. Angle(A) → α
  2. Circle((0, 0), 1) → c
  3. Line((0, 0), A) → f
  4. Intersect(eq1, f) → B
  5. Numerator(θ / π) → a
  6. Denominator(θ / π) → b
