n. A straight line intersecting a curve at two or more points.

n. The straight line drawn from the center through one end of a circular arc and intersecting the tangent to the other end of the arc.

n. The ratio of the length of this line to the length of the radius of the circle.

n. The reciprocal of the cosine of an angle in a right triangle.

n. A straight line that intersects a curve at two or more points.

n. In a right triangle, the reciprocal of the cosine of an angle. Symbol: sec

adj. Cutting; dividing into two parts.

n. A line that cuts another; especially, a straight line cutting a curve in two or more points.

n. A right line drawn from the center of a circle through one end of a circular arc, and terminated by a tangent drawn from the other end; the number expressing the ratio of this line to the radius of the circle. See Trigonometrical function, under Function.

Cutting; dividing into two parts.

n. A line which cuts a figure in any way.

n. Specifically, in trigonometry, a line from the center of a circle through one extremity of an are (whose secant it is said to be) to the tangent from the other extremity of the same are; or the ratio of this line to the radius; the reciprocal of the cosine.

Specifically, noting a stream which cuts across folded strata.

n. ratio of the hypotenuse to the adjacent side of a right-angled triangle

n. a straight line that intersects a curve at two or more points
