Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the value of sec(60°)?
  • Step 1: Understand that sec(60°) means the secant of 60 degrees.
  • Step 2: Recall the relationship between secant and cosine: sec(θ) = 1/cos(θ).
  • Step 3: Substitute 60° into the formula: sec(60°) = 1/cos(60°).
  • Step 4: Find the value of cos(60°). It is known that cos(60°) = 1/2.
  • Step 5: Substitute the value of cos(60°) into the equation: sec(60°) = 1/(1/2).
  • Step 6: Simplify the expression: 1/(1/2) is the same as 1 multiplied by 2, which equals 2.
