Sec 11 Degrees

The value of Sec 11 degrees is 1.0187166. . .. Sec 11 degrees in radians is written as sec (11° × π/180°), i.e., sec (0.191986. . .). In this article, we will discuss the methods to find the value of sec 11 degrees with examples.

• Sec 11° in decimal: 1.0187166. . .
• Sec (-11 degrees): 1.0187166. . .
• Sec 11° in radians: sec (0.1919862 . . .)

What is the Value of Sec 11 Degrees?

The value of sec 11 degrees in decimal is 1.018716694. . .. Sec 11 degrees can also be expressed using the equivalent of the given angle (11 degrees) in radians (0.19198 . . .)

We know, using degree to radian conversion, θ in radians = θ in degrees × (pi/180°)
⇒ 11 degrees = 11° × (π/180°) rad = 0.1919 . . .
∴ sec 11° = sec(0.1919) = 1.0187166. . .

Explanation:

For sec 11 degrees, the angle 11° lies between 0° and 90° (First Quadrant). Since secant function is positive in the first quadrant, thus sec 11° value = 1.0187166. . .
Since the secant function is a periodic function, we can represent sec 11° as, sec 11 degrees = sec(11° + n × 360°), n ∈ Z.
⇒ sec 11° = sec 371° = sec 731°, and so on.
Note: Since, secant is an even function, the value of sec(-11°) = sec(11°).

Methods to Find Value of Sec 11 Degrees

The secant function is positive in the 1st quadrant. The value of sec 11° is given as 1.01871. . .. We can find the value of sec 11 degrees by:

• Using Trigonometric Functions
• Using Unit Circle

Sec 11° in Terms of Trigonometric Functions

Using trigonometry formulas, we can represent the sec 11 degrees as:

• ± 1/√(1 - sin²(11°))
• ± √(1 + tan²(11°))
• ± √(1 + cot²(11°))/cot 11°
• ± cosec 11°/√(cosec²(11°) - 1)
• 1/cos 11°

Note: Since 11° lies in the 1st Quadrant, the final value of sec 11° will be positive.

We can use trigonometric identities to represent sec 11° as,

• -sec(180° - 11°) = -sec 169°
• -sec(180° + 11°) = -sec 191°
• cosec(90° + 11°) = cosec 101°
• cosec(90° - 11°) = cosec 79°

Sec 11 Degrees Using Unit Circle

To find the value of sec 11 degrees using the unit circle:

• Rotate ‘r’ anticlockwise to form 11° angle with the positive x-axis.
• The sec of 11 degrees equals the reciprocal of the x-coordinate(0.9816) of the point of intersection (0.9816, 0.1908) of unit circle and r.

Hence the value of sec 11° = 1/x = 1.0187 (approx)
