Answer:

45°

Explanation:

Ok, so, there is one thing I need to point out. 45° is the 'main' value if you assume 0°<A<180°. However, sin, cos, and tan have different periods which means that there are infinite values of A where tanA = 1. The general notation that you could put is A = 45° + (n*180°) where n is just a number. For example, if n = 1, you would get an angle of 225°. If you plug tan225° into the calculator, you get 1. If you did radians, you could write A =
(\pi)/(2) + n\pi. But ignore that if you haven't. Basically, the answer would be 45° if you are assuming A is between 0° and 180°. Also, you could have just used your calculator and types inverse tan function (
tan^(-1)) and plug in 1 to find the primary answer of 45.
