How can we prove that tan(45) multiplied four times equals sin(2a)?

To prove that:

tan(45) × tan(45) × tan(45) × tan(45) = 1 × sin(2a)

First, let’s simplify the left-hand side:

We know that:

tan(45) = 1

So, if we multiply tan(45) four times:

tan(45) × tan(45) × tan(45) × tan(45) = 1 × 1 × 1 × 1 = 1

Now, we have:

1 = 1 × sin(2a)

In order for this equation to hold true, it implies that:

sin(2a) must equal 1

Since sin(θ) reaches its maximum value of 1 when θ = 90°, this leads us to:

2a = 90°

To find ‘a’, we solve:

a = 45°

Thus, we’ve shown that under the condition where ‘a’ equals 45°, the equation holds true:

tan(45) × tan(45) × tan(45) × tan(45) = 1 × sin(2 × 45°)

This confirms our initial query, completing the proof!
