Sec 405 Degrees
The value of Sec 405 degrees is 1.4142135. . .. Sec 405 degrees in radians is written as sec (405° × π/180°), i.e., sec (9π/4) or sec (7.068583. . .). In this article, we will discuss the methods to find the value of sec 405 degrees with examples.
- Sec 405°: √2
- Sec 405° in decimal: 1.4142135. . .
- Sec (-405 degrees): 1.4142135. . . or √2
- Sec 405° in radians: sec (9π/4) or sec (7.0685834 . . .)
What is the Value of Sec 405 Degrees?
The value of sec 405 degrees in decimal is 1.414213562. . .. Sec 405 degrees can also be expressed using the equivalent of the given angle (405 degrees) in radians (7.06858 . . .)
We know, using degree to radian conversion, θ in radians = θ in degrees × (pi/180°)
⇒ 405 degrees = 405° × (π/180°) rad = 9π/4 or 7.0685 . . .
∴ sec 405° = sec(7.0685) = √2 or 1.4142135. . .
Explanation:
For sec 405°, the angle 405° > 360°. Given the periodic property of the secant function, we can represent it as sec(405° mod 360°) = sec(45°). The angle 405°, coterminal to angle 45°, is located in the First Quadrant(Quadrant I).
Since secant function is positive in the 1st quadrant, thus sec 405 degrees value = √2 or 1.4142135. . .
Similarly, sec 405° can also be written as, sec 405 degrees = (405° + n × 360°), n ∈ Z.
⇒ sec 405° = sec 765° = sec 1125°, and so on.
Note: Since, secant is an even function, the value of sec(-405°) = sec(405°).
Methods to Find Value of Sec 405 Degrees
The secant function is positive in the 1st quadrant. The value of sec 405° is given as 1.41421. . .. We can find the value of sec 405 degrees by:
- Using Unit Circle
- Using Trigonometric Functions
Sec 405 Degrees Using Unit Circle
To find the value of sec 405 degrees using the unit circle, represent 405° in the form (1 × 360°) + 45° [∵ 405°>360°] ∵ secant is a periodic function, sec 405° = sec 45°.
- Rotate ‘r’ anticlockwise to form 45° or 405° angle with the positive x-axis.
- The sec of 405 degrees equals the reciprocal of the x-coordinate(0.7071) of the point of intersection (0.7071, 0.7071) of unit circle and r.
Hence the value of sec 405° = 1/x = 1.4142 (approx)
Sec 405° in Terms of Trigonometric Functions
Using trigonometry formulas, we can represent the sec 405 degrees as:
- ± 1/√(1 - sin²(405°))
- ± √(1 + tan²(405°))
- ± √(1 + cot²(405°))/cot 405°
- ± cosec 405°/√(cosec²(405°) - 1)
