An hexagon polygon is a six sided polygon
n = 6
sum of all interior angles of hexagon polygon will be (2n - 4) x 90o
= [2 x 6 - 4] x 90
= 720o
If one angle is 170o and each of the remaining five angles is 5xo
5xo + 170o = 720o
= 5x + 550
x = $\frac{550}{5}$
= 110o

Given Cos z = L, z is an acute angle
$\frac{\text{cot z - cosec z}}{\text{sec z + tan z}}$ = cos z
= $\frac{\text{cos z}}{\text{sin z}}$
cosec z = $\frac{1}{\text{sin z}}$
cot z - cosec z = $\frac{\text{cos z}}{\text{sin z}}$ - $\frac{1}{\text{sin z}}$
cot z - cosec z = $\frac{L-1}{\text{sin z}}$
sec z = $\frac{1}{\text{cos z}}$
tan z = $\frac{\text{sin z}}{\text{cos z}}$
sec z = $\frac{1}{\text{cos z}}$ + $\frac{\text{sin z}}{\text{cos z}}$
= $\frac{1}{l}$ + $\frac{\text{sin z}}{L}$
the original eqn. becomes
$\frac{\text{cot z - cosec z}}{\text{sec z + tan z}}$ = $\frac{L-\frac{1}{\text{sin z}}}{1+sin\frac{z}{L}}$
= $\frac{L(L-1)}{\text{sin z}(1+\text{sin z})}$
= $\frac{L(L-1)}{\text{sin z}+1-co{s}^{2}z}$
