I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is the third option. The statement that sec right triangle B equals fraction 7 over 3 is correct. Secant of an angle in a right triangle is the ratio of the hypotenuse to the shorter side adjacent to an acute angle. Hope this answers the question.
