Solution
We know that `tan theta = "๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ก๐ ๐ ๐๐๐"/"๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ก ๐ ๐๐๐" = 8/15`
Now consider a right-angled Δle ABC.
By applying Pythagoras theorem
๐ด๐ถ2 = ๐ด๐ต2 + ๐ต๐ถ2
๐ฅ2 = 82 + 152
๐ฅ2 = 225 + 64 = 289
`x = sqrt289 = 17`
`sin theta = "๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ก๐ ๐ ๐๐๐"/"โ๐ฆ๐๐๐ก๐๐๐ข๐ ๐" = 8/17`
`cos theta = "๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ก ๐ ๐๐๐"/"โ๐ฆ๐๐๐ก๐๐๐ข๐ ๐" = 15/17`
`tan theta = "๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ก๐ ๐ ๐๐๐"/"๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ก ๐ ๐๐๐" = 8/15`
`cot theta = 1/tan theta = 1/(8/15) = 15/8`
`cosec theta = 1/sin theta = (1/8)/17 = 17/8`
`sec theta = 1/cos theta= (1/15)/17 = 17/15`

Proof: L.H.S. = sec θ + tan θ
= `1/square + square/square`
= `square/square` ......`(โต 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.
