tan(A+B+C) formula: if A+B+C = π, then tanA + tanB + tanC =

Answer: tanA tanB tanC.

  • A 0, assuming the angles cancel out
  • B 1, treating the identity as trivial
  • C tanA tanB tanC
  • D π, confusing it with the angle sum

Correct answer: C. tanA tanB tanC

Explanation: If A+B+C = π, then tan(A+B+C) is undefined (tan π = 0 but formula gives tanA+tanB+tanC - tanAtanBtanC = 0 at numerator when sum is 0... Actually the identity: tanA+tanB+tanC = tanA tanB tanC when A+B+C=nπ.
