Question

Explain the difference between using the cosine ratio to solve for a missing angle in a right triangle versus using the secant ratio. You must use complete sentences and any evidence needed (such as an example) to prove your point of view.

Answer 1

There would be hardly any difference right? because cos = adjacent/hypotenuse, sec = 1/cos = hypotenuse/adjacent.

Answer 2

correct

Answer 3

thank you

Answer 4

you would usually use the cosine because that's the one on the calculator!
