Draw out a representative right triangle with theta as one of the acute angles. What proportion of sides is the secant function? Can you find the value of all the sides? And from there, can you find sine and tangent? – 2011-04-28

Look at "List of trigonometric identities, Trigonometric functions" in Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trigonometric_identity – 2011-04-28
