Answer 3

Do you know what secant is in terms of a ratio involving the adjacent leg, the opposite leg, and the hypotenuse?

Answer 4

\(\sin \theta = \dfrac{opp}{hyp} \)

\(\cos \theta = \dfrac{adj}{hyp} \)

\(\tan \theta = \dfrac{opp}{adj} \)

\(\sec \theta = \dfrac{hyp}{adj} \)

\(\csc \theta = \dfrac{hyp}{opp} \)

\(\cot \theta = \dfrac{adj}{opp} \)

Answer 5

Look above and find the secant.

Which sides of the triangle does the secant use?

Answer 6

26/24 for b ???

Answer 8

@YumYum247 @Whitemonsterbunny17 @Tinkerbell2001 am i right and whats A

Answer 9

it is the length of the hypotenuse divided by the length of the "adjacent" side

Answer 10

yeah
\[\frac{26}{24}\] which you can reduce

Answer 11

13/12

Answer 12

so what is A

Answer 13

Answer 14

anyone what is a

Answer 15

@work12345 @DJthereal @freckles @jyar

Answer 16

what does "what is a" mean?

Answer 17

it said find the secant of angle A and B ... I have only found B

Answer 18

uh no \[\frac{26}{24}\] is the secant of angle lA

Answer 19

so it is the same as angle B ??
