Q. 90<θ<90-90^\circ < \theta < 90^\circ. Find the value of θ\theta in degrees.\newlinetan(θ)=0\tan(\theta) = 0\newlineWrite your answer in simplified, rationalized form. Do not round.\newlineθ=\theta = ____^\circ\newline
  1. Understand Tangent Ratio: We know that the tangent of an angle is the ratio of the sine to the cosine of that angle: tan(θ)=sin(θ)cos(θ)\tan(\theta) = \frac{\sin(\theta)}{\cos(\theta)}. For tan(θ)\tan(\theta) to equal 00, the numerator of this fraction, sin(θ)\sin(\theta), must be 00, because a fraction is only equal to zero when its numerator is zero. This is true as long as cos(θ)\cos(\theta) is not also 00, because division by zero is undefined.
  2. Identify Angle with Sine 00: We need to find the angle θ\theta where the sine function is equal to 00 within the given interval 90<θ<90-90^\circ < \theta < 90^\circ. The sine function is equal to 00 at 00^\circ and 180180^\circ, but since 180180^\circ is not within our interval, we can exclude it. Therefore, the only value for θ\theta that satisfies both conditions (sin(θ)=0\sin(\theta) = 0 and 90<θ<90-90^\circ < \theta < 90^\circ) is 0000.
