Answer:

B. 2

Explanation:

We need to find the value of secant for this triangle.

Remember the trigonometric functions: secant = hypotenuse / adjacent, where the hypotenuse is the longest side (2 in this case), and the adjacent is the side right next to the labelled angle but is not the hypotenuse (1 in this case).

Plugging the values into the equation yields:

sec(θ) = hypotenuse / adjacent

sec(θ) = 2 / 1 = 2

The answer is thus B.

Answer:

2

Explanation:

sec∅ is equal to 1/cos∅ or (hypotenuse over adjacent).

With that in mind:

sec∅ = 2/1

sec∅ = 2
