Question

Find the value of sec Θ for the angle shown.

Answer 1

sec Θ = \[\frac{ 7\sqrt{85} }{ 85 }\]

sec Θ = \[\frac{ 6 }{ 7 }\]

sec Θ = \[\frac{ 7}{ 6 }\]

sec Θ = \[\frac{ \sqrt{85} }{ 7 }\]

Answer 2

find the hypotenuse of the right triangle
secant will be the length of the hypotenuse divided by the length of the adjacent side (which is 7)

Answer 3

how do i find the hypotenuse

Answer 4

you use pythagoras' theorem...

Answer 5

a^2+b^2=c^2

Answer 6

thats the theorem

Answer 7

so the answer would be \[\frac{ \sqrt{85} }{ 7 }\]

Answer 8

makes sense to me

Answer 9

ok thank you!
