    If you know all the trig identities you don't need to solve 14. The trig identities you need to know are tan=sin/cos. Sec=1/cos. And 1+tan^2 = sec^2

    (I'll be replacing theta with x to make it easier to type)

    Problem: sinx=tanx/sqrt 1+tanx^2.

    Since 1+tanx^2=secx ^2

    Sinx=tanx/sqrt secx^2

    Sinx=tanx/secx

    Now tanx = sinx/cosx and secx=1/cosx

    (Sinx/cosx) / (1/cosx). The cosx cancel out leaving sin

    So sinx=sinx
