Evaluate your trigonometric values when given a trig equation and constraint

The video tutorial explains how to solve a problem involving the secant of an angle, Theta, which is not on the unit circle. It covers the properties of secant in triangles, applies the Pythagorean theorem to find missing sides, and explores possible triangle configurations. The tutorial concludes by determining the correct triangle using given constraints.

What does secant represent in relation to a triangle?

How can you express secant as a fraction?

What is the relationship between the sides of a triangle when using the Pythagorean theorem?

What are the two possibilities for the triangle based on the secant value of -2?

Why is it important to consider the signs of the sides of the triangle?

How do you determine the possible quadrants for the triangle based on the sine value?

What steps should you take to find the sine, cosine, tangent, cosecant, secant, and cotangent for the triangle?
