What is the pattern of change in the tangent ratio as theta increases from zero degrees?

How does this

make sense when looking at your diagram of triangles from class today?

As theta increases from zero degrees at a constant rate, the

tangent ratio increases at an increasing rate until the angle
measure of theta is 90 degrees. As you can see from the diagram
of triangles, the hypotenuse, ​r​, is a constant value of 10, so only
the values of ​x​ and ​y​ are changing. The tangent of theta is a ratio
of the ​y​ value divided by the ​x​ value. As the theta (or <AOP)
increases, the only angle value that is not 90 degrees. This means
that the side length opposite of the decreasing angle is decreasing
as well. Because we know ​r​ is 10 and ​x​ is decreasing, we also
know that ​y​ is increasing. This causes a larger gap between the
values of ​x​ and ​y​ and explains the ratio of tangent is increasing at
an increasing rate. So, in conclusion, the tangent ratio increases
at an increasing rate as theta increases because the measure of
the angle manipulates the side lengths of the triangle by
increasing ​y​ at a decreasing rate and decreasing ​x​ at an increasing
rate, causing the ratio, tangent (y/x) to be affected as well.
