Solution

Yes
It is an identity
To become it more clear
Draw a 3,4,5 right angled triangle with base=3 altitude=4 and hypotenuse=5
​​​​​​​Let angle between base and hypotenuse is theta
Then
Cos theta=3/5
Sin theta=4/5
Tan theta=4/3
So theta=cos^-1(3/5)=tan^-1(4/3)
It is proved above using the identity
