According to the given data we have the following:

the measure of ZV=90°, TV = 33, VU = 56, and UT = 65

ratio represents the secant of U?

In order to calculate the secant of U we would have to use the following formula:

secant of U=1/cos U

Cos u= adjacent/hipotenuse

Cos u=56/65

Cos u=0.861

secant of U=1/0.861

secant of U=1.161

The ratio represents the secant of U is 1.161
