Question

If tan theta is equal to a/b,then find the value of sec theta. Is there answer can be a+b/b

Answer 1

Tan theta = perpendicular /base

i.e ; perpendicular = a

base = b

By using pythagoras theorem:

${hypotenuse}^{2} = {perpendicular}^{2} + {base}^{2}$

Hypotenuse = a+b

Hence, sec theta = hypotenuse/perpendicular

= a+b / b

Yes, your answer is correct.

Answer 2

Answer:

if tan theta =a/b find sec theta
