∠ A = 4 5 ∘ . So tan A = 1 . Let 1 = tan B − d and tan C = tan B + d ; where d is common difference
Using the triangle identity tan A + tan B + tan C = tan A tan B tan C , we get 3 tan B = tan B tan C . And hence tan C = 3
Find 2tan(B)=1+tan(C)
Use tan(A+C)= (1+tan(C))/(1-tan(C))
Find tan(C)=3
Can you please give a little details how ? Thanks.

tangents are in ap, so tan(b)-tan(a)=tan(c)-tan(b), now
tan(a+c)=(tan(a)+tan(c))/(1-tan(a).tan(c))

Sorry. How do we get tan(c)=3 is not clear. Thank you.

T a n A = T a n 4 5 = 1 . L e t T a n B = 1 + d , a n d T a n C = 1 + 2 d . B u t i n a △ T a n A + T a n B + T a n C = T a n A ∗ T a n B ∗ T a n C . ∴ 1 + ( 1 + d ) + ( 1 + 2 d ) = 1 ∗ ( 1 + d ) ∗ ( 1 + 2 d ) ⟹ 3 ( 1 + d ) = ( 1 + d ) ( 1 + 2 d ) , S i n c e B = 0 , T a n B = 0 , ∴ 1 + d = 0 . S o 3 = 1 + 2 d , ⟹ d = 1 . S o A = T a n − 1 1 , B = T a n − 1 2 C = T a n − 1 3 . ∴ T a n C = 3 .
