AOB is a diameter of a circle with centre O and C is any point on the circle, joining A.C; B,C; and O, C let us show that
(i) tan∠ABC = cot ∠ACO
(ii) sin2∠BCO + sin2∠ACO = 1
(iii) cosec2∠CAB - 1 = tan2∠ABC

(i) tan∠ABC = cot ∠ACO
⇒ ∠ AOC = 90° = ∠ BOC
⇒ ∠ CAO = 60° and
∠ ACO = 30°
⇒ tan∠ ABC = tan(90 - ∠ ACO)
[tan(90 - θ) = cotθ ]
= cot∠ ACO
(ii) sin2∠BCO + sin2∠ACO = 1
⇒ sin2∠BCO + sin2∠ACO = 1
⇒ sin2∠BCO + sin2∠ACO
⇒ sin2∠BCO + sin2(90 - ∠ BCO)
⇒ sin2∠BCO + cos2∠BCO
= 1
[since, sin2θ + cos2θ = 1]
(iii) cosec2∠CAB - 1 = tan2∠ABC
⇒ cosec2∠CAB - 1
⇒ cosec(90 - ∠CAB) = sec∠CAB
⇒ ∠ CAB = ∠ ABC
⇒ sec2∠CAB - 1 = tan2∠ ABC
⇒ sec2∠ ABC – 1 = tan2∠ ABC
⇒ tan2∠ ABC = tan2∠ ABC
