Answer 8

sorry i am doin work, so my answers take long and are rough right now...... but i got 8 over cosec 32

Answer 9

my logic was thus: we know that cosec is just 1/sin and in this case sin32=x/8 so x=8sin32..... but 8sin32 is not an option so i realized that 8/cos32 is the same as 8/(1/sin32) which is indeed just 8sin32

Answer 10

8/cosec is the same******

Answer 11

oh okay thank you
