Nice problem
tan(80) = sin(80)/cos(80) = sin(90 - 10)/cos(90 - 10) = cos(10)/sin(10). So tan(10) tan(80) = sin(10) cos(10)/[sin(10)*cos(10)] = 1. All pairings from 10 to 80 give a product of 1 and we are left with tan(5).
tan 5 ∘ ⋅ tan 1 0 ∘ ⋅ tan 1 5 ∘ ⋯ tan 8 0 ∘
= tan 5 ∘ cos 1 0 ∘ ⋅ cos 1 5 ∘ ⋯ cos 8 0 ∘ sin 1 0 ∘ ⋅ sin 1 5 ∘ ⋯ sin 8 0 ∘
Because sin x = cos ( 9 0 ∘ − x ) , we have
= tan 5 ∘ sin 1 0 ∘ ⋅ sin 1 5 ∘ ⋯ sin 8 0 ∘ sin 1 0 ∘ ⋅ sin 1 5 ∘ ⋯ sin 8 0 ∘
= tan 5 ∘

tan10°. tan80° =tan 10°.cot10° =1. In such way, tan15°.tan75°=1, tan20°.tan 70°=1, ... ... tan45°.tan 45°=1. So we can say, tan5°.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1= tan5°
