Let me help you with this query.
A straight line which cuts a circle or a curve in two distant points is called a Secant. However, if the two points coincide at one point, the secant becomes a Tangent as now it touches the circle at one point only.
In trigonometry, Secant is the inverse of Cosine. The secant of an angle in a right triangle is the ratio or hypotenuse with its adjacent side.
Hope this will help you. Thanks.
