Answer 10

good!

Answer 11

but you said it was 1/4

Answer 12

yeah sorry it will be 3/4..:P

Answer 13

so what's your problem!! answer is correct!! @CynthiaJune94

Answer 14

Angle B=25/20 or 1 1/4
Is this correct too?
And i dont really get 'Trig. It is really hard for me.

Answer 15

yaaa, you are 100% correct

Answer 30

So Csc of Angle A
Csc=Hypotenuse/Opposite
Angle A=25/20=5/4
Correct?

Answer 31

yaaa correct

Answer 32

And Cos of Angle A
Cos=Adjacent/Hypotenuse
Angle A=20/25=4/5
Also Correct?

Answer 33

wrong!!!

Answer 34

Cos=Adjacent/Hypotenuse
Angle A=15/25=3/5

Answer 35
