Solution
tan θ – sin2θ = cos2θ ...[Given]
∴ tan θ = sin2θ + cos2θ
∴ tan θ = 1 ...[∵ sin2θ + cos2θ = 1]
But, tan 45° = 1
∴ tan θ = tan 45°
∴ θ = 45°
sin2θ = sin245°
= `(1/sqrt(2))^2`
= `1/2`

Solution :
L.H.S. = cotθ + tanθ
= `cosθ/sinθ + sinθ/cosθ`
= `(square + square)/(sinθ xx cosθ)`
= `1/(sinθ xx cosθ)` ............... `square`
= `1/sinθ xx 1/square`
