Answer:

$sec x = - \frac{3}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$cos x = \frac{-2}{3}\\\\sec x = \frac{1}{cosx}\\\\Therefore, sec x = \frac{3}{-2} = \frac{-3}{2}$

How can you decompose the composite??

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

as a semicircle, a hexagon, and a rectangle

Step-by-step explanation:

The first attachment shows the decomposition according to the answer choice above. It would make area computation about as simple as it could be.

The second attachment shows a decomposition with a circle. It leaves a very odd shape in the middle that is not easily divided into triangles, rectangles, or trapezoids.

The third attachment shows a semicircle, a pentagon, and two triangles. The pentagon is <em>not a regular pentagon</em>, so might require further decomposition in order to determine its area.
