θ
secθ in simplest radical form.

Given:

θ is an angle in standard position.

Its terminal side passes through the point (6,1).

To find:

The exact value of secθ in simplest radical form.

Solution:

If θ is an angle in standard position and its terminal side passes through the point (x,y), then the exact value of secθ is:

It is given that θ is an angle in standard position and its terminal side passes through the point (6,1), then the exact value of secθ is:

Therefore, the exact value of secθ is .

step-by-step explanation:

given that there are two triangles j'k'l' and jkl>

the former is got by dilating the second one.

when drawn on a grid, (graph paper) coordinates of vertices of first triangle is

(6,12)j, (9,6)k and (12,9)l

side jk has length = distance between j and k

=

side j'k'=distance between j' and k'

=

ie j'k'l' has sides 1/3 of that of corresponding sides of jkl.

hence scale factor of 1/3 is used to get j'k'l'from jkl
