Answer: π/6

Explanation:

sec θ =
(2)/(√(3))

sec =
(1)/(cos)


(1)/(cos) =
(2)/(√(3))

⇒ cos θ =
(√(3))/(2)

Since it is an acute angle, then 0° > θ > 90°

Look at the Unit Circle to find that cos θ =
(√(3))/(2) at π/6

Answer: -300°

Explanation:

Set up the proportion:


(\pi )/(180) = \frac{-5\pi} {3x}

Cross multiply and solve:

π(3x) = 180(-5π)

x =
(180(-5\pi))/(3\pi)

x = 60(-5)

x = -300
