In the right triangle below, a = 53 cm, b = 45 cm and c = 28 cm.
Find sec(θ) .
depends which side is opposite Ø
clearly 53 is the hypotenuse
if 45 is opposite Ø , then secØ = 53/28
if 28 is opposite Ø , then secØ = 53/45
Find sec(θ) .
clearly 53 is the hypotenuse
if 45 is opposite Ø , then secØ = 53/28
if 28 is opposite Ø , then secØ = 53/45
