ABC is right angled at B.
Prove that tanA+tanC=b^2 / ac
Ok so far I've got that tan A= a/c and tanC=c/a and then when i try to add those together i get (c^2)(a^2)/ac , but how can (c^2)(a^2) = b^2
all I've thought of is pythagorus's theorem. But for it to equal b^2, a^2 has to be taken away from c^2
