Evaluate
E. tan 26° tan 64°
By trigonometric identities, we can say
tan (90° - θ) = cot θ
And tan θ = 1/cot θ
Replace θ by 64°.
We get
tan (90° - 64°) = cot 64°
⇒ tan 26° = cot 64° [∵, 90° - 64° = 26°]
And tan 64° = 1/cot 64°
Using these values, we can solve for the given expression.
tan 26° tan 64° = cot 64° tan 64°
⇒ tan 26° tan 64° = cot 64°/cot 64°
⇒ tan 26° tan 64° = 1
