What is an secant in math?
Secant is a trignometric function. In a right triangle, the secant of an angle is the hypotenuse over the adjacent side. It is also the inverse of cosine. For example secant(x) = 1/cos(x)
Does trignometry secant relate to circles secant?
yes
How are chords and secant of a circle alike?
chords and secants are same as secant mean - a line which passes the circle by cutting it at two distinct points chord mean - it is a straight line segment whose endpoint both lie on the circle
Is a secant-secant angle is a central angle of a circle?
Sometimes
Where is the tangent secant angle on a circle?
The tangent secant angle is the angle between the tangent to a circle and the secant, when the latter is extended.
What does chord mean in math?
A chord of a circle is a geometric line segment whose endpoints both lie on the circumference of the circle. A secant or a secant line is the line extension of a chord.

How are sine and cosine and secant related?
Sine and cosine are cofunctions, which means that their angles are complementary. Consequently, sin (90° - x) = cos x. Secant is the reciprocal of cosine so that sec x = 1/(cos x). Knowing these properties of trigonometric functions, among others, will really help you in other advance math courses.

How do you spell secant?
That is the correct spelling of the geometric term "secant."
Is a secant-secant angle is a central angle of a circle?
Sometimes
What is a secant of a circle?
a secant is a line containing a chord. A secant is a line that intersects the circle twice(or passes through a circle)
Where is the tangent secant angle on a circle?
The tangent secant angle is the angle between the tangent to a circle and the secant, when the latter is extended.
What is the secant of 90 degrees?
The secant function is not defined for odd multipls of 90o.
Secant line?
A secant line is a line that cuts a circle in two places.
Which is a secant?
Secant is a straight line that intersects a curve at two or more points
