Question

What is cos θ if sec θ = 2?

Answer 1

$\bf cos(\theta)=\cfrac{1}{sec(\theta)}\qquad \qquad \boxed{sec(\theta )=2}\implies cos(\theta)=\cfrac{1}{\boxed{2}}$

Answer 2

Answer:

the value of cos θ is $\frac{1}{2}$.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, $cos\theta=\frac{1}{sec\theta}$

we are given with sec θ = 2

To find the value of cos θ , we use this fact $cos\theta=\frac{1}{sec\theta}$

put sec θ = 2 in $cos\theta=\frac{1}{sec\theta}$

$cos\theta=\frac{1}{2}$

Therefore, the value of cos θ is $\frac{1}{2}$.
