Q. θ\theta is an acute angle. Find the value of θ\theta in degrees.\newlinesec(θ)=2\sec(\theta) = \sqrt{2}\newlineθ=\theta = ____°\degree
  1. Secant and Cosine Relationship: sec(θ)\sec(\theta) is the reciprocal of cos(θ)\cos(\theta), so if sec(θ)=2\sec(\theta) = \sqrt{2}, then cos(θ)=12\cos(\theta) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}.
  2. Secant Value Calculation: But wait, we know that cos(45°)=2/2\cos(45°) = \sqrt{2}/2, which is the same as 1/21/\sqrt{2} if we rationalize the denominator.
