Solution 1
tan 30° = `1/sqrt(3)`, tan 45° = 1, tan 60° = `sqrt(3)`
tan 15°. tan 30°. tan 45°. tan 60°. tan 75° = `tan 15^circ * 1/sqrt(3) * 1 * sqrt(3) tan 75^circ`
= `tan 15^circ xx tan 75^circ xx 1/sqrt(3) xx 1 xx sqrt(3)`
= `tan(90^circ - 75^circ) xx 1/(cot75^circ) xx 1` ...[tan 90° – θ = cot θ]
= `cot 75^circ xx 1/(cot75^circ) xx 1`
= 1
Solution 2
Step-by-step values:
-
tan 15∘ = 2 − √3
-
tan 30∘ = `1/sqrt3`
-
tan 45∘ = 1
-
tan 60∘ = √3
-
tan 75∘ = 2 + √3
`tan 15° xx tan 75° = (2-sqrt3)(2+sqrt3)=4-3=1`
`tan 30°xxtan60° = 1/sqrt3 xx sqrt3 = 1`
tan 45∘ = 1
1 × 1 × 1
= 1
