the web2 calc handles this easily

[2nd][sec](1.2934292)

$${asec}{\left({\mathtt{1.293\: \!429\: \!2}}\right)} = {\mathtt{39.363\: \!427\: \!756\: \!281^{\circ}}}$$

 

on othe calcs you often have to do this

 

$$\\sec \theta = 1.2934292\\
cos\theta = 1/1.2934292\\
\theta= cos^{-1}(1/1.2934292)\\$$

 

 

arc cos is the same as inverse cos
