Answer

Substituting values, we get :

2 tan245°+ cos230° sin260°=2×(1)2+(32)2(32)2=2×(1)+3434=2.\Rightarrow \text{2 tan}^2 45° + \text{ cos}^2 30° - \text{ sin}^2 60° = 2 \times (1)^2 + \Big(\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\Big)^2 - \Big(\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\Big)^2 \\[1em] = 2 \times (1) + \dfrac{3}{4} - \dfrac{3}{4} \\[1em] = 2.

Hence, 2 tan2 45° + cos2 30° - sin2 60° = 2.
