$\sec70^\circ\sin20^\circ+\cos20^\circ\text{cosec}70^\circ$
$=\frac{1}{\cos70^\circ}\times\sin20^\circ+\cos20^\circ\times\frac{1}{\sin70^\circ}$
$=\frac{1}{\cos(90^\circ-20^\circ)}\times\sin20^\circ+\cos20^\circ\times\frac{1}{\sin(90^\circ-20^\circ)}$
$=\frac{1}{\sin20^\circ}\times\sin20^\circ+\cos20^\circ\times\frac{1}{\cos20^\circ}$
$=1+1$
$=2$
$=\frac{1}{\cos70^\circ}\times\sin20^\circ+\cos20^\circ\times\frac{1}{\sin70^\circ}$
$=\frac{1}{\cos(90^\circ-20^\circ)}\times\sin20^\circ+\cos20^\circ\times\frac{1}{\sin(90^\circ-20^\circ)}$
$=\frac{1}{\sin20^\circ}\times\sin20^\circ+\cos20^\circ\times\frac{1}{\cos20^\circ}$
$=1+1$
$=2$
