Answer:

The value is:


\tan \theta=0

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the terminal point of angle theta on the unit circle is (1,0)

To get tan theta, Recall that;


\tan \theta=(opposite)/(adjacent)

For the given terminal point;

opposite = y-value = 0

adjacent = x-value = 1


\begin{gathered} \tan \theta=(0)/(1) \\ \tan \theta=0 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the value is;


\tan \theta=0
