Secant is a term in mathematics derived from the Latin secare ("to cut"). It may refer to: a secant line, in geometry the secant variety, in algebraic geometry secant (trigonometry) (Latin: …

secant, one of the six trigonometric functions, which, in a right triangle ABC, for an angle A, is sec A = length of hypotenuse/ length of side adjacent angle A. (The other five trigonometric …

In a right triangle, the secant of an angle is the length of the hypotenuse divided by the length of the adjacent side. In a formula, it is abbreviated to just 'sec'.

Tangent Lines and Secant Lines (This is about lines, you might want the tangent and secant functions) A tangent line just touches a curve at a point, matching the curve's slope there. …

2025年7月23日 · Secant is one of the six basic trigonometric ratios and its formula is secant (θ) = hypotenuse/base, it is also represented as, sec (θ). It is the inverse (reciprocal) ratio of the …

When the length of the hypotenuse is divided by the length of the adjacent side, it gives the secant of the angle, of the right-angled triangle. Secant is denoted as 'sec'. Secant formula is …

A secant is a line that intersects a curve at a minimum of two different points. The secant line above cuts (intersects) the curve at three distinct points. In Geometry, secant lines are often …
