Question
Prove the following identities, where the angles involved are acute angles for which the expressions are defined:
`(1+ secA)/sec A = (sin^2A)/(1-cosA)`
[Hint : Simplify LHS and RHS separately.]

Solution
L.H.S
`(1+secA)/secA = (1+1/(cosA))/(1/cosA)`
= `((cosA+1)/cosA)/(1/cosA)`
= `(cosA+1)`
= `((1-cosA)(1+cosA))/(1-cosA)`
= `(1-cos^2A)/(1-cosA)`
= `(sin^2A)/(1-cosA)` ...[∵ 1cos2 A = sin2A]
