Using pythagorean identity:


\sin ^2(\theta)+\cos ^2(\theta)=1

Divide both sides by cosĀ²:


\tan ^2(\theta)+1=\sec ^2(\theta)

Replace the given values:


\begin{gathered} ((24)/(7))^2+1=((25)/(7))^2 \\ 1+((24)/(7))^2=((25)/(7))^2 \end{gathered}

Answer:

Given tangent of theta equals 24 over 7 and secant of theta equals 25 over 7 comma-example-1
