What is the secant (sec) of an angle?

Back

The secant of an angle in a right triangle is the ratio of the length of the hypotenuse to the length of the adjacent side. In the unit circle, sec(θ) = 1/cos(θ).

What is the tangent (tan) of an angle?

Back

The tangent of an angle in a right triangle is the ratio of the length of the opposite side to the length of the adjacent side. In the unit circle, tan(θ) = sin(θ)/cos(θ).
