Why can’t directly get the range of l1+l2 under three constraints?

Posted 16 hours ago

three constraints are:

l1 Tan@a + l2 == Sin@a/Cos[a]^2 + 1/Sin@a, 
l1 + l2/Tan@a == 1/(Cos@a (Sin@a)^2), 0 < a < \[Pi]/2

Why can't the following code solve the range of l1+l2? How to compute it correctly?

Reduce[{l1 Tan@a + l2 == Sin@a/Cos[a]^2 + 1/Sin@a, 
   l1 + l2/Tan@a == 1/(Cos@a (Sin@a)^2), 0 < a < \[Pi]/2, 
   t == l1 + l2}, t, {l1, l2, a}, Reals] // FullSimplify

enter image description here

The first two constraints are equivalent, so that l1+l2 is not a function of a alone. I cannot find references to your syntax

Reduce[expr, t, {l1, l2, a}, Reals]

in the documentation.
