The angles A + B and A − B are both acute and tan(A + B)·tan(A − B) = 1. Then A equals:

Competition practiceTrigonometry
  • A45°
  • B90°
  • C22.5°
  • D60°

Step-by-Step Solution

For acute angles, tanX·tanY = 1 means tanY = cotX, so X and Y are complementary. Hence °, which is ° and °. itself is not fixed — for instance ° with ° works, giving °. Reporting the sum leaves 90°, halving once more gives 22.5°, and 60° would need the two angles to total 120°, where the product of the tangents is not 1.
Answer: A) 45°
