  % x = linspace(0,70);
  % y1 = secd(x)+tand(x);
  % y2 =y1/(22/7);
  % 
  % figure
  % plot(x,y1 )
  % 
  % grid on
  % hold on
  % 
  % plot(x,y2 )
  % axis equal
  % grid on

  x=54.69975156014;
  (secd(x)+tand(x))/(22/7)
  cscd(x)+cotd(x)

  sym(19/10+1/30)
  eval(ans)
  
The commented out part was used to find an estimate and the value of x was adjusted to find the answer.
  
  The output for the given  x=54.69975156014;
  
  ans =
            1.00000000000001    ratio of first formula to 22/7
  ans =
            1.93333333333332    value of second formula
  ans =
            29/15               apparent answer
  ans =
          1.93333333333333      value of apparent answer for comparison
          
Answer is 29/15.
