उत्तर

L.H.S. = sec2θ – cos2θ

= 1 + tan2θ – cos2θ   ...[∵ 1 + tan2θ = sec2θ]

= tan2θ + (1 – cos2θ)

= tan2θ + sin2θ   ...`[(∵ sin^2θ +cos^2θ = 1),(∴ 1 - cos^2θ = sin^2θ)]`

= R.H.S.

∴ sec2θ – cos2θ = tan2θ + sin2θ

Solution:

In Δ ABC, ∠ABC = 90°, ∠C = θ°

AB2 + BC2 = `square`   .....(Pythagoras theorem)

Divide both sides by AC2

`"AB"^2/"AC"^2 + "BC"^2/"AC"^2 = "AC"^2/"AC"^2`

∴ `("AB"^2/"AC"^2) + ("BC"^2/"AC"^2) = 1`

But `"AB"/"AC" = square and "BC"/"AC" = square`

∴ `sin^2 theta  + cos^2 theta = square`
