If tanθ = , then secθ = _____.
there is nothing given so i don't think it would be possible to find anything
1/3 sorry
I didn't realize it didn't show up
\[\tan(\theta)=\frac{1}{3} \] I guess we are going to assume theta is in the first quadrant... It is either that our it is in the 4th quadrant... But anyways lets just look at this right triangle here for now: |dw:1417554119474:dw|
we are given tan(theta)=1/3
and we know that tan(theta)=opp/adj
so we could choose the opp measurement of angle theta to be 1 and the adj measurement of angle theta to be 3
do you know how to label the triangle above and then find any remaining sides?
No /:
do you know what side is opp to angle theta?
yeah
opposite side is the side not touching angle theta (that is way on the opposite side) adjacent is the side touching the angle theta (that isn't the hyp) the hyp is always opp the 90 degree angle -- so this means you should be able to label the triangle above
oh okay I know that
