the problem is fairly simple

cot x = tan ( pie/2 - x ).

so, pie/2-piesina = piecosa

1/2-sina=cosa

cosa+sina=1/2

cosa/√2 +sina/√2 =1/2√2

cos(a-45)=1/2√2

hence

tan(piecosa) = cot(piesina) tan(piecosa) = tan(90-180sina) cosa + sina= 90 cos(45-a) =1by2root2 (multiplying and div both sides by 1by root2) hence proved
