Question

In LMN, the measure of N=90°, ML = 17, LN = 8, and NM=15. what is the ratio that represents the secant M?

Answer 1

To be clear, do u want the angle of M?

Answer 2

secM =
`(17)/(15)`

Explanation:

secM =
`(1)/(cosM)`

cosM =
`(adjacent)/(hypotenuse)` =
`(MN)/(LM)` =
`(15)/(17)` , then

secM =
`(1)/((15)/(17) )` =
`(17)/(15)`
