If sec2θ + tan2θ = 3, then the angle θ is equal to?

A.

90°

B.

30°

C.

45°

D.

60°

Correct Answer: 45°

Explanation

Given that sec2θ + tan2 θ = 3 Where sec2θ = 1 + tan2θ : 1 + tan2 θ + tan2 θ = 3 2tan2θ = 3 - 1 2tan2θ = 2 divide both sides by 2 tan2θ = 1 tanθ = √1 tanθ = 1 θ = tan−1(1) θ = 45°
