1 - sin^2 theta cos^2 theta
-------------------- = --------------------- = 1
cos^2 theta cos^2 theta

sin^2 theta +cos^2 theta = 1 => cos^2 theta = 1 - sin^2 theta

hope this will help you

Answer: The answer is 1.

Explanation:

Here, the given expression is,


(1-sin^2\theta)/(cos^2\theta)


=(cos^2\theta)/(cos^2\theta)

( Because, sin² A + cos² A = 1 ⇒ cos² A = 1 - sin² A )


=1

Hence, we can write,


(1-sin^2\theta)/(cos^2\theta)=1

The answer is 1.
