How do I find the value of sec 45? Trigonometry Right Triangles Trigonometric Functions of Any Angle 1 Answer Waleed A. Oct 13, 2015 #sec(45) = 1.414# Explanation: Sec is actually the inverse of Cos. so, #sec(theta) = 1/ cos(theta)# #sec(45) = 1/ cos(45)# #sec(45) = 1/ 0.707# Since, Cos(45) = 0.707 #sec(45) = 1.414# Answer link Related questions How do you find the trigonometric functions of any angle?
