∴ tan2 ⁡ 𝜃(1 + tan2 ⁡ 𝜃) = 21 cos ⁡ 𝜃 = psin⁡ 𝜃
tan2 ⁡ 𝜃 ⋅ sec 2 ⁡ 𝜃 = 21 cos2 𝜃

26) Answer: D
Given
5
sec⁡ 𝐴 = 13/12 = hypotenuse/base cot⁡ 𝜃 = 6 = base /Perpendicular
∴ (Perpendicular )2 = (hypotenuse)2 − (base )2 So,base = 5
2 2
= (13) − (12) Perpendicular = 6
= 25
So,Perpendicular = √25 = 5 Hypotenuse = √52 + 62 =√61
