tan θ tan (60° − θ) tan (60° + θ) = tan 3θ  ∴ tan 6° tan 54° tan 66° = tan 18° (i)  tan 18° tan 42° tan 78° = tan 54° (ii)  Multiply (i) and (ii), we get  tan 6° tan 42° tan 66° tan 78° = 1
$$\mathrm{tan}\:\theta\:\mathrm{tan}\:\left(\mathrm{60}°\:−\:\theta\right)\:\mathrm{tan}\:\left(\mathrm{60}°\:+\:\theta\right)\:=\:\mathrm{tan}\:\mathrm{3}\theta \\ $$$$\therefore\:\mathrm{tan}\:\mathrm{6}°\:\mathrm{tan}\:\mathrm{54}°\:\mathrm{tan}\:\mathrm{66}°\:=\:\mathrm{tan}\:\mathrm{18}°\:\left(\boldsymbol{{i}}\right) \\ $$$$\mathrm{tan}\:\mathrm{18}°\:\mathrm{tan}\:\mathrm{42}°\:\mathrm{tan}\:\mathrm{78}°\:=\:\mathrm{tan}\:\mathrm{54}°\:\left(\boldsymbol{{ii}}\right) \\ $$$$\mathrm{Multiply}\:\left(\boldsymbol{{i}}\right)\:\mathrm{and}\:\left(\boldsymbol{{ii}}\right),\:\mathrm{we}\:\mathrm{get} \\ $$$$\mathrm{tan}\:\mathrm{6}°\:\mathrm{tan}\:\mathrm{42}°\:\mathrm{tan}\:\mathrm{66}°\:\mathrm{tan}\:\mathrm{78}°\:=\:\mathrm{1} \\ $$
