Question

In LMN, the measure of N=90°, ML = 17, LN = 8, and NM=15. what is the ratio that represents the secant M?

Answer 1

Answer:

To be clear, do u want the angle of M?

Answer 2

Answer:

secM = $\frac{17}{15}$

Step-by-step explanation:

secM = $\frac{1}{cosM}$

cosM = $\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}$ = $\frac{MN}{LM}$ = $\frac{15}{17}$ , then

secM = $\frac{1}{\frac{15}{17} }$ = $\frac{17}{15}$
