INFORMATION

Secant (sec) is one of the fundamental trigonometric functions. For a real angle between 0 and 90 degrees, the cosecant of the angle is the ratio of the length of the hypotenuse to the length of the adjacent side in a right triangle. It is the multiplicative inverse of the cosine function.

The above calculator computes the secant value of an angle given in degrees or radians. Additionally, it draws graphs representing the secant value of the angle. For angles between 0 and 90 degrees, it shows the secant value on a right triangle; for values between -3000 and +3000 degrees, it displays the secant value on the coordinate system; and for all angles, it represents the secant value on the unit circle.

• Decimal numbers (e.g., 27.5 or 0.05)
• Fractions (e.g., 1/2 or 2.3/4)

WHAT IS SECANT CALCULATOR?

Secant calculator,

• Computes the secant of an angle given in degrees or radians and
• Depicts the angle and its secant value on several different graphs.

HOW TO USE THE SECANT CALCULATOR?

Secant calculator can be used in two ways.

• USER INPUTS

  

  You can enter the angle value to the input box and click on the "CALCULATE" button. The result and explanations appaer below the calculator.

• RANDOM INPUTS
