Well, let's just draw! :D |dw:1360754655516:dw|

Cosecant is just hypotenuse over the opposite side, right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1360754762915:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no its adj/hyp

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Don't mistake cosine for cosecant, they're very different :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Looked through your notes? Agree with me yet? :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im so confused. it says in my book COS(theta)=Adj/hyp

hartnn (hartnn):

@PeterPan did u just assume theta here : |dw:1360754965665:dw| because since cot theta is negative, theta is in 3rd quadrant. and so, measure of angle theta is between 180 and 270 degrees.
