well you have a given angle and the hypotenuse. You need to find the opposite side.
any ideas.
OpenStudy (aripotta):
i was thinking sine...but it's not one of the choices?
OpenStudy (campbell_st):
lol... thats what I just realised.
OpenStudy (aripotta):
i know csc is the reciprocal of sine...could i use that? i don't know when to use csc, sec, and cot :/
OpenStudy (campbell_st):
if you use a reciprocal function
csc(23) = 2500/x
so x = 2500/csc(23)

so c?
OpenStudy (aripotta):
but how do you know when to use it instead of sin?
OpenStudy (aripotta):
i'm so confused bro
OpenStudy (anonymous):
opposite + hypotenuse
OpenStudy (aripotta):
plus? wut?

those two are involved in what ratios ?
OpenStudy (aripotta):
sin and csc
OpenStudy (anonymous):
you look at options, since sin is not there, you go ahead and use csc, simple !
OpenStudy (aripotta):
:/ seems like a trick lol
OpenStudy (aripotta):
if i was solving this question in the real world, with no multiple choice...i would use sin or csc?

both would yield the same NUMERICAL answer if u plug them in calculator
OpenStudy (anonymous):
becoz, sin = 1/csc
OpenStudy (aripotta):
so confused :(
