Find the secant of angle A.
do you know what mean a secant of an angle ?
bc. this triangle is a right triangle and given the lengths of every sides so you can using sin, ,cos,... every trigonometric functions
what does secant mean?
the measure of angle
2. Trigonometry The secant of an angle in a right triangle is the hypotenuse divided by the adjacent side. sec x = H A See Secant of an angle - trigonometry.
Is the answer 5/3?
or use sec x = 1/cos x
But is 5/3 correct?
cos A = ?
do you know the law of cosine ?
I'm saying secant of angle A = 5/3
is that correct?
step by step cos A = adj. / hyp yes ?
cos A = 9/15 = 3/5 than from this result sec A = 1/cos A = 1/(3/5 = 5/3 hope this is understandably now
yes with this 5/3 what you ve wrote above you are right sure
any question ?
ok was my pleasure good luck bye bye
