What is the sec of pi/4? Trigonometry Right Triangles Trigonometric Functions of Any Angle 1 Answer Alan P. Oct 20, 2015 #sec(pi/4)=1# Explanation: An angle of #pi/4# can be represented as a standard triangle with adjacent and opposite side both #=1# and hypotenuse #=sqrt(2)# By definition #sec = ("adjacent")/("opposite")# So #sec(pi/4) = 1/1 = 1# Answer link Related questions How do you find the trigonometric functions of any angle?
