Cho hình thang \[ABCD\,\,\left( {AB\,{\rm{//}}\,CD} \right),\,\,\widehat C = 36^\circ \,;\,\,\widehat D = 50^\circ \]. Biết \(AB = 4\;{\rm{cm}},AD = 6\;{\rm{cm}}\). Tính chu vi hình thang.

Ta có \(\cos A = \frac{{AE}}{{AB}};\,\,\cos B.cosC = \frac{{BD}}{{AB}}.\frac{{DC}}{{AC}}\,\,\,\,\,\,\left( 1 \right)\)

Mặt khác

\( \Rightarrow \frac{{DB}}{{DA}} = \frac{{DH}}{{DC}} \Rightarrow DB.DC = DA.DH\)

Hay \(DB.DC = DA.AH\,\,\left( 2 \right)\)

Mà \( \Rightarrow \frac{{AE}}{{AD}} = \frac{{AH}}{{AC}} \Rightarrow AE.AC = AD.DH\,\,\left( 3 \right)\)

Từ \(\left( 1 \right),\,\left( 2 \right),\,\left( 3 \right)\) ta có \({\mathop{\rm cosB}\nolimits} .cosC = \frac{{AE.AC}}{{AB.AC}} = \frac{{AE}}{{AB}}\) suy ra \[\cos A = \cos B.cosC\]

Ta có \(\tan 80^\circ  = \cot 10^\circ ;\tan 70^\circ  = \cot 20^\circ ;\tan 50^\circ  = \cot 40^\circ ;\cot 60^\circ  = \cot 30^\circ \) và \(\tan \alpha .\cot \alpha  = 1\)

Nên \(B = \tan 10^\circ .\tan 20^\circ .\tan 30^\circ .\tan 40^\circ .\tan 50^\circ .\tan 60^\circ .\tan 70^\circ .tan80^\circ \)

\( = \tan 10^\circ .\tan 20^\circ .\tan 30^\circ .\tan 40^\circ .\cot 40^\circ .\cot 30^\circ .\cot 20^\circ .\cot 10^\circ \)

\( = (\tan 10^\circ .\cot 10^\circ ).(\tan 20^\circ .\cot 20^\circ ).(\tan 30^\circ .\cot 30^\circ ).(\tan 40^\circ .\cot 40^\circ )\) \( = 1.1.1.1 = 1\).Vậy \(B = 1\).
