i cant se what it says

When you click on the image zoom in

opposite over hypotenuse is how you find it
geerky42 (geerky42):
\[\sec\theta ~~=~~ \dfrac{1}{\cos\theta} ~~=~~ \dfrac{1}{\dfrac{\text{Adj}}{\text{Hyp}}}~~=~~\dfrac{\text{Hyp}}{\text{Adj}}\]
So \(\sec\theta\) is ratio of Hypotenuse to Adjacent.
geerky42 (geerky42):
Do you know what value of \(c\) is?

no i dont
OpenStudy (howard-wolowitz):
cos you mean
geerky42 (geerky42):
no, side c.
OpenStudy (howard-wolowitz):
possibly 10
geerky42 (geerky42):
we know a=b=5|dw:1431533306060:dw|
Notice that is 45 45 90 triangle?

Or maybe try use Pythagorean Theorem here?
\[a^2+b^2=c^2\]
OpenStudy (howard-wolowitz):
hmm ok all I have to do then is get C
geerky42 (geerky42):
kind of, you need to find \(\dfrac{c}{b}\).
But we don't know \(c\). so we need to work on that.
geerky42 (geerky42):
Hyp is c,and Adj is b.
geerky42 (geerky42):
So using Pythagorean Theorem, what is c? @Howard-Wolowitz

2 something
OpenStudy (howard-wolowitz):
I still dont get the whole C thing
OpenStudy (howard-wolowitz):
@geerky42 you cant o this without knowing C .. at least I dont think
