Question

Is there any relation between the line segments called secant and tangent of circles and the trigonometric ratios of Tan and Sec?​

Answer 1

Hey friend here is your answer:

Yes, it is. Well spotted! And that’s how the sec( ), or secant, function got its name. To see how, I suggest you view the definitions of the trigonometric functions on the English-language Wikipedia, especially the diagram given at the heading Unit-circle definitions. There you will see that the secant line segment from an exterior point E to the origin O has a length sec(θ), while the tangent line segment from the same exterior point to the unit circle at point A has length tan(θ), when the line OA subtends an angle θ to the secant.

Hope this helps you !!

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

There is no relation between a secant of a circle and a secant in trigonometry.

A secant of a circle is a straight line or chord that extends beyond the circumference of the circle.

A secant in trigonometry is the ratio of the hypotenuse to the adjacent side of the angle referred to.
