Answer

$ \tan A\tan B \tan C=\tan A+\tan B+\tan C$

Work Step by Step

Let us consider $x-y=A; y-z=B, z-x=C$ Now, we have $\tan C=-\dfrac{\tan A+\tan B}{1-\tan A\tan B}$ or, $\tan C(1-\tan A\tan B) =-[\dfrac{\tan A+\tan B}{1-\tan A\tan B}](1-\tan A\tan B)$ or, $\tan C(1-\tan A\tan B) =-(\tan A+\tan B)$ Thus, we have $ \tan A\tan B \tan C=\tan A+\tan B+\tan C$
