A right triange with secant equal to 2 will have a tangent of ______________?

Professor says answer is sqrt 3 but I have no idea how he got that, please explain in detail.

Thanks

Figured it out but answer for a thumbs up if you\'d like

Solution

Secant=2

=> coscent=1/2

Therefore, by hypororas theorem,

base=1, hypotenius=2, perpendicular=3

Therefore, tangent= perpendicular/base =3/1 = 3
