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

4. mathstudent55

$$\sin \theta = \dfrac{opp}{hyp}$$ $$\cos \theta = \dfrac{adj}{hyp}$$ $$\tan \theta = \dfrac{opp}{adj}$$ $$\sec \theta = \dfrac{hyp}{adj}$$ $$\csc \theta = \dfrac{hyp}{opp}$$ $$\cot \theta = \dfrac{adj}{opp}$$

Look above and find the secant. Which sides of the triangle does the secant use?

26/24 for b ???

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

9. anonymous

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

10. anonymous

yeah $\frac{26}{24}$ which you can reduce

11. anonymous

13/12

12. anonymous

so what is A

what does "what is a" mean?

17. anonymous

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

18. anonymous

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