To make:A conjecture for a
Conjecture states: In a right angle
Given data: The trigonometric identity is
Method/Formula used:
A conjecture is a guess based on the observations and some evidences that can be true or false
Calculations:
The trigonometric identity is
From Pythagoras theorem,
Therefore,
Similarly,
And
That shows whatever the value be of
Therefore, a conjecture on the results can be drawn that states:
In a right angle triangle the difference of squares of tangent (tan) and secant (sec) of the angle equals 1.
