Solution
Given: tan θ = `20/21`,
show that `(1 - sin theta + cos theta)/(1 + sin theta + cos theta) = 3/7`
Since tan θ = perpendicular/base
So we construct right triangle ABC right angled at C
such that ∠ABC = θ and AC = Perpendicular = 20
BC = base = 21
By Pythagoras theorem, AB2 = AC2 + BC2
⇒ AB2 = (20)2 + (21)2
⇒ AB2 = 400 + 441
⇒ AB2 = 841
⇒ AB = `sqrt841`
⇒ AB = 29
As sin θ = perpendicular / hypotenuse cos θ = base / hypotenuse
So,
tan θ = `20/21` ⇒ sin θ `20/29 and cos θ = 21/29`
∴ `(1 - sin θ + cos θ)/(1 + sin θ + cos θ) = (1 - 20/29 + 21/29)/(1 + 20/29 + 21/29)`
= `(30/29)/(70/29)`
= `3/7` Hence proved

Prove that sec θ + tan θ = `cos θ/(1 - sin θ)`.
Proof: L.H.S. = sec θ + tan θ
= `1/square + square/square`
= `square/square` ......`(∵ sec θ = 1/square, tan θ = square/square)`
= `((1 + sin θ) square)/(cos θ square)` ......[Multiplying `square` with the numerator and denominator]
= `(1^2 - square)/(cos θ square)`
= `square/(cos θ square)`
= `cos θ/(1 - sin θ)` = R.H.S.
∴ L.H.S. = R.H.S.
∴ sec θ + tan θ = `cos θ/(1 - sin θ)`
