Question

If tanα=asinβ1acosβ and tanβ=bsinα1bcosα then show that sinαsinβ=ab.

Open in App
Solution

We have,

tanα=asinβ1acosβ

sinαcosα=asinβ1acosβ

sinαasinαcosβ=acosαsinβ

sinα=a(sinαcosβ+cosαsinβ)

sinα=asin(α+β).......(1)

Similarly,

tanβ=bsinα1bcosα

sinβcosβ=bsinα1bcosα

sinβbcosαsinβ=bsinαcosβ

sinβ=bsin(α+β)........(2)

On dividing equation (1) from (2), we get

sinαsinβ=asin(α+β)bsin(α+β)

sinαsinβ=ab

Hence, proved.
