Question

Compute the following using a calculator: sec(16∘). Round your answer to two decimal places.

Answer 1

Explanation:

We can use a scientific calculator to find the value of sec(16°).

On most calculators, we would first need to set the mode to degree measure. Then, we can simply enter "sec(16)" or "1/cos(16)" and press the Enter or equals button to get the answer.

Using a calculator, we get:

sec(16°) ≈ 1.06

Rounding this to two decimal places, we get:

sec(16°) ≈ 1.06
