Sec 28 Degrees

The value of Sec 28 degrees is 1.1325700. . .. Sec 28 degrees in radians is written as sec (28° × π/180°), i.e., sec (7π/45) or sec (0.488692. . .). In this article, we will discuss the methods to find the value of sec 28 degrees with examples.

• Sec 28° in decimal: 1.1325700. . .
• Sec (-28 degrees): 1.1325700. . .
• Sec 28° in radians: sec (7π/45) or sec (0.4886921 . . .)

What is the Value of Sec 28 Degrees?

The value of sec 28 degrees in decimal is 1.132570050. . .. Sec 28 degrees can also be expressed using the equivalent of the given angle (28 degrees) in radians (0.48869 . . .)

We know, using degree to radian conversion, θ in radians = θ in degrees × (pi/180°)
⇒ 28 degrees = 28° × (π/180°) rad = 7π/45 or 0.4886 . . .
∴ sec 28° = sec(0.4886) = 1.1325700. . .

Explanation:

For sec 28 degrees, the angle 28° lies between 0° and 90° (First Quadrant). Since secant function is positive in the first quadrant, thus sec 28° value = 1.1325700. . .
Since the secant function is a periodic function, we can represent sec 28° as, sec 28 degrees = sec(28° + n × 360°), n ∈ Z.
⇒ sec 28° = sec 388° = sec 748°, and so on.
Note: Since, secant is an even function, the value of sec(-28°) = sec(28°).

Methods to Find Value of Sec 28 Degrees

The secant function is positive in the 1st quadrant. The value of sec 28° is given as 1.13257. . .. We can find the value of sec 28 degrees by:

• Using Unit Circle
• Using Trigonometric Functions

Sec 28 Degrees Using Unit Circle

To find the value of sec 28 degrees using the unit circle:

• Rotate ‘r’ anticlockwise to form 28° angle with the positive x-axis.
• The sec of 28 degrees equals the reciprocal of the x-coordinate(0.8829) of the point of intersection (0.8829, 0.4695) of unit circle and r.

Hence the value of sec 28° = 1/x = 1.1326 (approx)

Sec 28° in Terms of Trigonometric Functions

Using trigonometry formulas, we can represent the sec 28 degrees as:
