Answer

Showed that given statement, $ \sin\theta\sec\theta\cot\theta$ = $1$, is an identity as left side transforms into right side.

Work Step by Step

Given statement is- $ \sin\theta\sec\theta\cot\theta$ = $1$ Left Side = $ \sin\theta\sec\theta\cot\theta$ = $ \sin\theta.\frac{1}{\cos\theta}.\frac{\cos\theta}{\sin\theta}$ (Using reciprocal and ratio identity) = $1$ ( As $\sin\theta$ cancels out $\sin\theta$ and $\cos\theta$ cancels out $\cos\theta$ ) = Right Side i.e. Left Side transforms into Right Side i.e. Given statement, $ \sin\theta\sec\theta\cot\theta$ = $1$, is an identity.
