ABSTRACT

Calculate the product of tangent A for all angles of A from 1° to 89° in the triangle below.

ere is a direct way to do by this using our calculator, tan 1° × tan 2° × tan 3° × … × tan 87° × tan 88° × tan 89° = (.017455)(.034920)(.052408) … (19.081136)(28.636253)(57.289962), but this method would take us far too long, is rather cumbersome, and is prone to data entry error. How can we shorten the process and increase our accuracy?
