The terminal ray of ∠A passes through the point (10,−4) . ∠A is drawn in standard position. What is the value of secA ?

sec = 1/cos

 

10, -4           use pythagorean theorem to find the hypotenuse     10^2 +(-4)^2 = h^2     h = sqrt 116

 

cos  =   adj/hyp = 10 / sqrt 116

 

sec = 1/cos =   sqrt 116/10   = 2sqrt29/10 = sqrt 29 / 5

Would the sqr only be on the 29 or for both 29/5

(sqrt 29) / 5
