Let us show that:
sec70°sin20° + cos20°cosec70° = 2
Given, sec70°sin20° + cos20°cosec70° = 2
Need to prove the given equation as two
⇒ we know that sec(90 - θ) = cosecθ and cosec(90 - θ) = secθ
∴ sec70° = sec(90 - 20)°
= cosec20° - - - eq (1)
And cosec70° = cosec(90 - 20)
= sec20° - - - - - eq(2)
⇒ Substitute eq(1) and eq(2) in the given equation
∴ cosec20°sin20° + cos20°sec20° = 2
⇒ ![]()

⇒
= 2
⇒ 2 = 2
Hence, proved
