The secant is the ratio of the hypotenuse to the side adjacent to the angle. However, we do not have the measure of the hypotenuse given to us. This is a right triangle, so we can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the hypotenuse. Our sides have lengths of 5 and 12.

5²+12²=c²

25+144=c²

c²=169

We square root both sides

c=13

Now, we take our hypotenuse (13) and we put it over the adjacent side to angle L, which is 5.

Therefore, the secant is B) 13/5.

I hope that this helps! Have a wonderful day!

(20 POINTS AND BRAINLIEST) The rectangles below have the same perimeter

Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

Well it is 16

Step-by-step explanation:

the rectangle has 2 of the same sides for each side, so 3x2+5x2, a square has all sides equal to each other, so 4x4

So Now we do the easy part|
The rectangle that is grey:
3x2 = 6
5x2 = 10
6+10 =16

The orange square:
4x4 = 16
4+4=8
4+4=8
8+8=16

Therefore both are 16, meaning 16 must be the perimeter for both!
