    Write Tan A in Terms of Tan A? um...in terms of B no?

    Well if A + B = pi/4, than

    Tan(A + B) = Tan(pi/4)
    Tan(A + B) = 1

    TanA + TanB = 1
    1-TanATanB

    Than if you want it in terms of B or A, rearrange.... i presume!

    A + B = pi/4

tan(A + B) = Tan(pi/4)
tan(A + B) = 1

[u]tanA + tanB[/u] = 1
1 - tanAtanB

tanA + tanB = 1-tanAtanB
tanA + tanAtanB = 1 - tanB

tanA(1 + tanB) = 1 - tanB
tanA = [u]1 - tanB[/u]
       1 + tanB
