Fast way to show this identity: Just draw the medians to the hypotenuse and to one
side in an isosceles right-angled triangle. Since AF : FD = 2 : 1 AE = EC , BD = AD, The proof is completed. |

The
trigonometric way: By putting tan A = X and tan B = Y
in the sum formula,
We can get the arc tangent formula: \

Exercise 1. Can you use the diagram to
show that : (Hint: Find a right angle and a suitable
straight angle in the diagram) 2. Can you draw another red
triangle in the same lattice which can demonstrate the same result in 1 ? |
