    Sec∅ = 1/cos∅

    = 1/cos (240)

    = 1/cos (180 + 60)

    = 1/-cos (60)

    = 1 / (-1/2)

    = - 2

    60=pi/3

    cos 60 = 0.5

    sec 240 = 1 / cos 240

    cos 240 = cos (180+60)

    cos (180+x) = - cos x

    cos (180+x) = - cos x

    so

    cos 240 = - cos 60

    = - 0.5

    sec 240 = 1 / cos 240

    = 1 / (-0.5)

    = - 2
