This example demonstrates the relationship between the unit circle and the tangent graph. Key mathematical concepts include trigonometry and the unit circle. Using GeoGebra commands such as Point, Rotate, Segment, Circle, etc., it dynamically illustrates the properties of the tangent function. Suitable for high school mathematics education and learning.
