3. An acute angle θ is in a right triangle with cos θ = two thirds . What is the value of sec θ? (2 points) five divided by two two divided by square root of five square root of five divided by three three halves

Respuesta :

Answer: sec θ = [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

cos θ = [tex]\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

sec θ = [tex]\frac{hypotenuse}{adjacent}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex]


Extra Credit: Use Pythagorean Theorem to find the opposite side

2² + b² = 3²

4 + b² = 9

      b² = 5

      b = √5

sin θ = [tex]\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{\sqrt{5}}{3}[/tex]

csc θ = [tex]\frac{hypotenuse}{opposite}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{3}{\sqrt{5}}[/tex] =  [tex]\frac{3\sqrt{5}}{5}}[/tex]
