It's a trigonometric dilemma

Geometry Level 4

{ cos x = tan y cos y = tan z cos z = tan x \large \begin{cases} \cos x =\tan y \\ \cos y = \tan z \\ \cos z =\tan x \end{cases}

If x , y x, y and z z are real numbers that satisfy the above system of equations with 0 sin x 1 0 \leq \sin x \leq 1 , then what is the value of sin x \sin x ?


The answer is 0.618.

The symmetry of the problem suggests that there exists solutions when x = y = z x = y = z

The rest is history XD
