cosA=2/5
base/hypotenuse=2/5
let base=2k and hypotenuse=5k
by Pythagoras theorem
perpendicular=√21k
now tanA=√21/2

now 4+ tanA.tanA
= 4+(√21/2)(√21/2)
=4+21/4
=(16+21)/4
=37/4

cos A=2/5=b/h
p^2=h^2-b^2
=(5)^2-(2)^2
=25-4
p=√21

4+tan^2 A
=4+(p/b)^2
=4+(√21/2)^2
=4+21/4
=16+21/4 (here 4 is L.C.M)
=37/4
