you solve secant angles when you have the hypotenuse and adjacent sides.

sec=1/cos or, cos^-1 (reciprocal identity property)

Tangent is solved when you have adjacent and opposite sides, or you can look at it as its what you use when you dont have the hypotenuse.

tan=sin/cos or tan=opp/adj or tan=y/x
