Arcsecant

 

Arcsecant formula

\(  arcsec\; (\theta) \;=\; \dfrac {hypotenuse}{adjacent} \)

trig function

  • Hypotenuse: The side opposite the right angle "C", is the hypotenuse "c".
  • Opposite Leg: The side opposite to the angle needed "A", is the opposite side "a".
  • Adjacent Leg: The side opposite the hypotenuse and next to the angle needed, is the adjacent side "b".
  • arcsec  -  arcsecant
