Enter angle in degrees or radians:


           
           
  

Calculate sec(77)

sec is found using Hypotenuse/Adjacent

Determine quadrant:

Since 0 ≤ 77 ≤ 90 degrees
it is in Quadrant I

sin, cos and tan are positive.

Determine angle type:

77 < 90°, so it is acute

Simplify Formula

Sec(θ)  =  1
  Cos(θ)

sec(77)  =  1
  Cos(77)

sec(77)  =  1
  0.22495105584014

sec(77) = 4.4454114530169

Write sec(77) in terms of csc

Since 77° is less than 90...
We can express this as a cofunction

sec(θ) = csc(90 - θ)

sec(77) = csc(90 - 77)

sec(77) = csc(13)
