Question
Find the value of tan 9° – tan 27° – tan 63° + tan 81°
Solution
We have tan 9° – tan 27° – tan 63° + tan 81°
= tan 9° + tan 81° – tan 27° – tan 63°
= tan 9° + tan (90° – 9°) – tan 27° – tan (90° – 27°)
= tan 9° + cot 9° – (tan 27° + cot 27°) .....(1)
Also tan 9° + cot 9° = `1/(sin 9^circ cos 9^circ)`
= `2/(sin 18^circ)` .....(2)
Similarly, tan 27° + cot 27° = `1/(sin 27^circ cos 27^circ)`
= `2/sin54^circ`
= `2/cos36^circ` .....(3)
Using (2) and (3) in (1), we get
tan 9° – tan 27° – tan 63° + tan 81° = `2/(sin18^circ) - 2/(cos36^circ)`
= `(2 xx 4)/(sqrt(5) - 1)`
= `(2 xx 4)/(sqrt(5) + 1)`
= 4

Let the angles of the quadrilateral be \[\left( a - 3d \right)^\circ, \left( a - d \right)^\circ, \left( a + d \right)^\circ \text{ and }\left( a + 3d \right)^\circ\]
We know: \[a - 3d + a - d + a + d + a - 2d = 360\]
\[ \Rightarrow 4a = 360\]
\[ \Rightarrow a = 90\]
We have:
Greatest angle = 120°
Now,
\[a + 3d = 120\]
\[ \Rightarrow 90 + 3d = 120\]
\[ \Rightarrow 3d = 30\]
\[ \Rightarrow d = 10\]
Hence,
\[\left( a - 3d \right)^\circ, \left( a - d \right)^\circ, \left( a + d \right)^\circ\text{ and }\left( a + 3d \right)^\circ\] are
