    Given :-

    In triangle ABC,

    • A and B are acute angles and triangle is right angled at C.

    To Prove :-

    • tanA × tanB = 1

    Solution :-

    Given that,

    • Triangle ABC is right-angle triangle right-angled at C.

    So,

    ⟼ Using angle sum property of triangle,

    ⟼ ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°.

    ⟼ ∠A + ∠B = 180° – ∠C

    ⟼ ∠A + ∠B = 180° – 90°

    ⟼ ∠A + ∠B = 90°

    ⇛ ∠B = 90° – ∠A

    Consider,

    ⟼ tanA × tanB

    = tanA × tan(90° – A)

    = tanA × cotA

    [tex] \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \red{\bigg \{ \because \: tan(90 \degree \: – x) = cotx\bigg \}}[/tex]

    = 1

    [tex]\red{\bigg \{ \because \: tanx = \dfrac{1}{cotx}\rm :\implies\:tanx \times cotx = 1 \bigg \}}[/tex]

    Additional Information:-

    Relationship between sides and T ratios

    sin θ = Opposite Side/Hypotenuse

    cos θ = Adjacent Side/Hypotenuse

    tan θ = Opposite Side/Adjacent Side

    sec θ = Hypotenuse/Adjacent Side

    cosec θ = Hypotenuse/Opposite Side

    cot θ = Adjacent Side/Opposite Side

    Reciprocal Identities

    cosec θ = 1/sin θ

    sec θ = 1/cos θ

    cot θ = 1/tan θ

    sin θ = 1/cosec θ

    cos θ = 1/sec θ

    tan θ = 1/cot θ

    Co-function Identities

    sin (90°−x) = cos x

    cos (90°−x) = sin x

    tan (90°−x) = cot x

    cot (90°−x) = tan x

    sec (90°−x) = cosec x

    cosec (90°−x) = sec x

    Fundamental Trigonometric Identities

    sin²θ + cos²θ = 1

    sec²θ – tan²θ = 1

    cosec²θ – cot²θ = 1
