- secant (of angle)
This term refers to the mathematical function that is defined as the reciprocal of the cosine of an angle. In trigonometry, it is commonly used in relation to right-angled triangles and the unit circle, particularly in the context of defining relationships between angles and ratios of sides.
In a right-angled triangle, the secant is the ratio of the hypotenuse to the adjacent side.
