Hey there! I know this is prob really simple and I am beginning to understand it, but my problem is

Sec 60°

Now I know all the SOH CAO TOH stuff, and things like that, I just don't understand how to find the value because it changes all the time with the right triangle and the number of their sides.
Really just need the formula on how to solve stuff.

Answer:

sec(60) = 2

Explanation:

sec(theta) = 1/cos(theta)

theta = 60o

cos(60) = 1/2 = 0.5

sec(theta) = 1/0.5 = 2
