Hey there! I'm happy to help!

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!

26.   2x^2 +4x -10 = 0       (-4 + - (root(4^2 - 4*2*-10)))/2*2   =  
(-4 + - (root(96)))/4
(-4 + (root(96)))/4  ≈  1.45
(-4 -  (root(96)))/4  ≈  -3.45

27. f(x) = 0 when any of the components that multiply together equal 0 for this function therefore   x -2 = 0    x +3 = 0    x -5 = 0   so   f(x) = 0 when x = 2, -3 or 5 


28. It looks like it shows you how to do it

Someone help me find the answer to this
KATRIN_1 [288]
The diameter of the plate is 12, and the formula for finding circumference is diameter times pie. so you multiply pie (or 3.14 if you aren't using a calculator) times 12 and it should give you 37.6991. rounded to the nearest tenth, that's 37.7, hope I helped!
