Answer:

The value of sec θ is [tex]\frac{10}{9}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

[tex]cos \theta = \frac{9}{10}[/tex]

Since,

[tex]cos \theta = \frac{1}{sec \theta}[/tex]

[tex]\implies \frac{1}{sec \theta}=\frac{9}{10}[/tex]

By cross multiplication,

[tex]10=9 sec \theta[/tex]

[tex]\implies sec \theta = \frac{10}{9}[/tex]
