Use a right triangle to write the given expression as an algebraic equation. Assume that X is positive and that the given inverse trigonometric function is defined with the expression in X.

Math, microeconomics or criminal justice
[sqr(x^2+4)]/2 = sec(sin^-1(x/sqr(x^2+4))x
sinT = x/sqr(x^2+4)
cosT= 2/sqr(x^2+4)
secT= 1/cosx = sqr(x^2+4)/2
the right triangle has hypotenuse= sqr(x^2+4)
opposite side = x
and adjacent side = 2
secT =1/cosT = hypotenuse/adjacent = sqr(x+4)/2
