Question

If the cosine value is 40*, the secant value to the hundredths degree is:

A.) 1.30

B.) 1.56

C.) 0.77

D.) 2.13

Answer 1

A.) 1.30

Explanation:

If the cosine value is 40*, the secant value to the hundredths degree is 1.30.

sec(40°)=1.30

Answer 2

Option A.) 1.30

Explanation:

we know that

The secant of x is 1 divided by the cosine of x:

so

sec(40°)=1/cos(40°)

using a calculator

sec(40°)=1.30
