(i) If tanA=56 and tanB=111, prove that A+B= π4
(ii) If tanA=mm1 and tanB=m2m1
then prove that AB=π4

Solution

We have
tanA=56 and tanB=111
Now,
tan(A+B)=tanA+tanB1tanA.tanB
=56+111156×111
=55+6661566
=616666566
=61666166
=6166×6661
=1
==tanπ4
tan(A+B)=tanπ4
A+B=π4
Hence proved.
(ii) We have,
tanA=mm1 and tanB=m2m1
Now, tan(AB)=tanAtanB1+tanA.tanB
=mm112m11+mm1×12m1
=m(2m1)(m1)(m1)(2m1)1+m(m1)(2m1)
=m(2m1)(m1)(m1)(2m1)(m1)(2m1)+(m)(m1)(2m1)
=m(2m1)(m1)(m1)(2m1)+(m)
=2m2mm+12m2m2m+1+m
=2m2mm+12m22m+1
=2m22m+12m22m+1
=1
tan(AB)=1=tan(π4)
tan(AB)=tan(π4)
AB=(π4)
Hence proved.
