Answer

$\frac{4}{\pi}$

Work Step by Step

Given $$ f(t)= \sec^2 t,\ \ \ \ t\in [0,\pi/4]$$ Then \begin{aligned} f_{\mathrm{ave}}&=\frac{1}{b-a} \int_a^b f(t) d t\\ &=\frac{1}{\pi / 4-0} \int_0^{\pi / 4} \sec ^2 t d t\\ &=\frac{4}{\pi}[\tan t]_0^{\pi / 4}\\ &=\frac{4}{\pi}(1-0)\\ &=\frac{4}{\pi} \end{aligned}
