Solution
L.H.S. = tan 10° tan 15° tan 75° tan 80°
= tan 10° tan 15° tan (90° - 15°) tan (90° - 10°)
= = tan 10° tan 15° cot 15° cot 10°
= `1/cot 10° xx 1/cot 15° xx cot 15° xx cot 10°`
= 1
= RHS
Hence proved.

If cot θ = `40/9`, find the values of cosec θ and sinθ,
We have, 1 + cot2θ = cosec2θ
1 + `square` = cosec2θ
1 + `square` = cosec2θ
`(square + square)/square` = cosec2θ
`square/square` = cosec2θ ......[Taking root on the both side]
cosec θ = `41/9`
and sin θ = `1/("cosec" θ)`
sin θ = `1/square`
∴ sin θ = `9/41`
The value is cosec θ = `41/9`, and sin θ = `9/41`
If tan θ = `x/y`, then cos θ is equal to ______.
