sin (A/2)= 1/2

sec (A/2) = 10

1. cos A = 1/2, cos A = 300°

A in QIV,

sin (A/2)= (300/2)

= 150°

sin (A/2) = 1/2

2.

sin (A)=3/5 with A in QII, then sec (A/2)

cos A = (-4/5)

cos A = 2cos²(A/2) - 1

cos²(A/2) = {(1 - ⅘) / 2}

cos²(A/2) = 1/10

cos(A/2) = 1/√10

sec(A/2) = 1/cos(A/2) = 10

sec(A/2) = 10
