how to prove this  (1/(cos^2 10^o ))+(1/(sin^2 20^o ))+(1/(cos^2 40))=12

$${how}\:{to}\:{prove}\:{this} \\ $$$$\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{cos}^{\mathrm{2}} \mathrm{10}^{{o}} }+\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{sin}^{\mathrm{2}} \mathrm{20}^{{o}} }+\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{cos}^{\mathrm{2}} \mathrm{40}}=\mathrm{12} \\ $$

Looks like it is not equal to 12.  See attached screenshot from  Wolfram alpha.
