Note first that is an angle with its terminal side on the 1st quadrant, and so all its trig functions are positive.
Using the identity , we get
, or , where we chose the positive square root because is in quadrant 1.
==> .
The absolute value bars are not necessary because tangent and secant are positive in quadrant 1.
