The trigonometric ratio ,
tan 30 degrees = √(3) and tan 45 degrees = 1.
According to the 45-45-90** triangle theorem**,
In an isosceles right triangle, the two legs are congruent and the hypotenuse is equal to the leg times the √2.
Therefore,
in a 45-45-90 triangle, tan 45 degrees is equal to 1.
Now, use the 30-60-90 triangle theorem.
In a 30-60-90 triangle,
The hypotenuse is twice as long as the shorter leg, and the longer leg is equal to the shorter leg times the **square root **of 3.
Therefore, if we let the shorter leg be 1, the longer leg is √3 and the hypotenuse is 2.
Using the definition of tangent ,
we have tan 30 degrees = opposite/**adjacent **
= (√(3)/1)
= √(3).
So tan 30 degrees = √(3) and tan 45 degrees = 1.

Using the properties of right triangles, we find that tan 3 0 ∘ = 3 3 ​ ​ and tan 4 5 ∘ = 1 . These results come from the 30-60-90 and 45-45-90 triangles, respectively. Both triangles help in determining the ratios needed for tangent values of these angles.
