It is NOT a right triangle.

one moment please:)

csc$$\Delta B=   3 \over 2$$
$$\csc \triangle c  = 3 \over 2$$
sec$$\triangle B= 6 \over 5$$
$$\sec \triangle C= 5 \over 6$$

here are the choices

mertsj · Answer

I don't understand this question because the definitions of the trig functions are for right triangles and that is NOT a right triangle.  Where did you get this triangle?

anonymous · Answer

i was very confused too? it was on one of my questions

mertsj · Answer

If it were a right triangle as it says, then the sin C=4/6=2/3 so the csc C = 3/2

mertsj · Answer

So if I have to make a choice, I would choose the second one and make a note in the margin that the triangle cannot be a right triangle since 16+25 does not equal 36
