Here is the answer:-

Explanation:

1+tan^2theta=sec^2 theta1+tan2θ=sec2θ
tan theta=sin theta/cos thetatanθ=sinθcosθ and
sec theta=1/cos thetasecθ=1cosθ

1+sin^2theta/cos^2theta1+sin2θcos2θ = 1/cos^2theta1cos2θ

cos^2theta+sin^2theta cos2θ+sin2θ/sin^2theta/sin2θ = 1/cos^2theta1cos2θ

further on solving you would get both sides equal to sec^2 theta so
it is proved.
