Answer:

  sec(θ) = -5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

It can be helpful to draw a triangle with sides that produce the given ratio. See the attachment. Then the third side of the triangle can be found using the Pythagorean theorem, if necessary. Finally, the ratio for the desired trig function can be determined.

  sec = hypotenuse/adjacent

  sec(θ) = 5/-2 = -5/2

__

If you don't want to do that, or if you have various trig identities memorized, you can use the appropriate trig identity.

  sin² + cos² = 1

so ...

  sec² = 1/cos² = 1/(1 -sin²)

  sec = 1/√(1 -sin²)

Since the tangent is positive, this is a third-quadrant angle. The secant will be negative.

  sec(θ) = -1/√(1 -(21/25)) = -√(25/4) . . . . . filling in the given value for sin(θ)

  sec(θ) = -5/2

The figure shows a circle inscribed in a triangle. To construct the inscribed circle, angle bisectors were first constructed at
klemol [59]

Answer:

Segments perpendicular to the sides of the triangle through the intersection of the angle bisectors were constructed.

Step-by-step explanation:

The above choice represents a bit of excess work. Actually, only one such perpendicular line segment needs to be constructed in order to determine the radius of the inscribed circle.

Once you know the center and radius, you can construct the inscribed circle.

Solve for x thanks .
OleMash [197]

Answer:

x = 3.87

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the right angle altitude theorem, we know that all three triangles are congruent, so the lengths of corresponding sides of the triangles are in proportion..

AD/DB = DB/DC

15/x = x/1

x² = 15

x = √15

x = 3.87
