(A) We know that for any real $\theta$,$\sec^2 \theta \ge 1$.Given the equation $\sec^2 \theta = \frac{4xy}{(x + y)^2}$,it must satisfy $\frac{4xy}{(x + y)^2} \ge 1$.Since $(x + y)^2 > 0$ (assuming $x, y \neq 0$),we have $4xy \ge (x + y)^2$.$4xy \ge x^2 + 2xy + y^2$.$0 \ge x^2 - 2xy + y^2$.$0 \ge (x - y)^2$.Since the square of a real number cannot be negative,$(x - y)^2$ must be $0$.Therefore,$x - y = 0$,which implies $x = y$.
