Well secant is 1/cosine. And I don't know if you ever learned this but my teachers always referred me back to SOHCAHTOA, Sine= opposite/hypotenuse Cosine = adjacent/hypotenuse Tangent = opposite/adjacent So from that you see that cosine is A/H and so secant would be H/A because it's the reciprocal So you have to see which answer is the same ratio as 3.9/3.6
