The value of sec 45 degrees<\/strong> is \\(\\sqrt{2}\\)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Proof :<\/strong><\/p>\n Let ABC be a triangle, right angled at B, in which \\(\\angle\\) A = \\(\\angle\\) C = 45 degrees<\/p>\n \\(\\therefore\\)\u00a0 BC = AB<\/p>\n Let\u00a0 AB = BC = a<\/p>\n Then by pythagoras theorem,<\/p>\n \\(AC^2\\) = \\(AB^2\\) + \\(BC^2\\) = \\(a^2\\) + \\(a^2\\) = \\(2a^2\\)<\/p>\n \\(\\implies\\)\u00a0 AC = \\(\\sqrt{2}a\\)<\/p>\n In \\(\\Delta\\) ABC,\u00a0 \\(\\angle\\) C = 45 degrees<\/p>\n
