The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the triangle properties Given that triangle ABC is a right-angled triangle with angle B = 90°. We also know that angle A = 60°. ### Step 2: Calculate angle C In any triangle, the sum of the angles is 180°. Since angle B is 90° and angle A is 60°, we can find angle C using the formula: \[ \text{Angle C} = 180° - \text{Angle A} - \text{Angle B} \] Substituting the known values: \[ \text{Angle C} = 180° - 60° - 90° = 30° \] ### Step 3: Find secant of angle C The secant function is defined as the reciprocal of the cosine function: \[ \sec C = \frac{1}{\cos C} \] For angle C = 30°, we know: \[ \cos 30° = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \] Thus, \[ \sec 30° = \frac{1}{\cos 30°} = \frac{1}{\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}} = \frac{2}{\sqrt{3}} \] ### Step 4: Calculate sec C + 2 Now we need to find the value of \( \sec C + 2 \): \[ \sec C + 2 = \frac{2}{\sqrt{3}} + 2 \] To add these, we can express 2 with a common denominator: \[ 2 = \frac{2\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}} \] Thus, \[ \sec C + 2 = \frac{2}{\sqrt{3}} + \frac{2\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}} = \frac{2 + 2\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}} \] ### Final Answer The value of \( \sec C + 2 \) is: \[ \frac{2 + 2\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}} \] ---
