Question

Given the triangle below, which of the following is a correct statement?
A) Sec B = 7/3
B) Sec C = 3/7
C) Cot B = 3/2
D) Cot C = 1/2

Answer 1

Do you know the definitions of the trig functions?

Answer 2

no i do not

Answer 3

There is your problem.
Here they are:
\[\sin =\frac{side opp}{hypotenuse}\]
\[\cos =\frac{side adjacent}{hypotenuse}\]

Answer 4

\[tangent = \frac{side opp}{side adj}\]

Answer 5

ohh yea i know those

Answer 6

\[cotangent = \frac{side adjacent}{side opposite}\]

Answer 7

Secant is the hypotenuse/adjacent

Answer 8

\[secant = \frac{hypotenuse}{side adjacent}\]

Answer 9

Well then if you know them use them to see which answer is true.

Answer 10

Which one works?

Answer 11

i beleive its A

Answer 12

In a, sec B should be the hypotenuse on the sideadjacent, 7/3? 3 is the opposite. Think again :)
