Question
Prove that `((tan 20°)/(cosec 70°))^2 + ((cot 20°)/(sec 70°))^2 = 1`

Solution
LHS = `((tan 20°)/(cosec 70°))^2 + ((cot 20°)/(sec 70°))^2`
= `((sin 20°. sin 70°)/(cos 20°))^2 + ((cos 20°. cos 20°)/(sin 20°))^2`
= `[(sin 20°.sin (90° - 20°))/(cos 20°)]^2 + [(cos 20°. cos(90° - 20°))/(sin 20°)]^2`
= `[ (sin 20°.cos 20°)/(cos 20°)]^2 + [(cos 20°. sin 20°)/(sin 20°)]^2`
= sin2 20° + cos2 20°
= 1
= RHS
Hence proved.
