By definition

... sec(θ) = 1/cos(θ) . . . . trig identity

... sec(θ) = 1/(9/10) . . . . substitute the given value, then simplify to ...

... sec(θ) = 10/9

10/9 because sec x=1/cos x

<span>The answer is 20 feet by 20 feet. Let's solve the equation: (x – 8)^2 = 144. (x - 8)^2 = 12^2. Since a^2 = b^2 is the same as a = b, then (x - 8)^2 = 12^2 can be simplified to: x - 8 = 12. Now, solve for x. x = 8 + 12. x = 20. Therefore, the dimensions of the original lawn were 20 feet by 20 feet.</span>

vitfil [10]

Slope (m) equals rise over run
Y-intercept is when x=0
Up (rise) two over (run) one, so 2/1=2 would be your slope.
When x=0, y=2. 2 is your y-intercept.
Plug those into the equation y=mx+b
Y=2x+2. Which is your answer. Glad to help
