The video tutorial explains the concept of tangent for an angle of 0.46 radians, which equals half. It explores various angles to determine which have the same tangent value, including angles like pi over 2, pi minus 0.46, and pi plus 0.46. The tutorial highlights the symmetry of the tangent function, showing that adding pi to an angle results in the same tangent. It also discusses how adding 2 pi to an angle brings it back to the same point on the unit circle, maintaining the same sine, cosine, and tangent values.
