Given,

sec θ = cosec θ1cos θ=1sin θsin θcos θ=1tan θ=1tan θ = tan 45°θ=45°.\Rightarrow \text{sec θ = cosec θ} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{\text{cos θ}} = \dfrac{1}{\text{sin θ}} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{\text{sin θ}}{\text{cos θ}} = 1 \\[1em] \Rightarrow \text{tan θ} = 1 \\[1em] \Rightarrow \text{tan θ = tan 45°} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \text{θ} = 45°.

Hence, θ = 45°.
