csctheta=-7, 180

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you can use the trig identity

OpenStudy (raden):

better we represent it to figure : |dw:1360755760700:dw|

OpenStudy (raden):

to find cot, u have to determine the value of x

OpenStudy (raden):

use pythagorean theorem : x^2 = 7^2 - 1^2 solve for x

OpenStudy (raden):

after u got the value of x, then evaluate the cot : cot(theta) = x/1 = .... it must be positive value, because theta in quadrant 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\cot^2(\theta)=\csc^2(\theta)-1\]

OpenStudy (raden):

that will work too.. upto u which way do u want, @minabina678 ::)

OpenStudy (raden):

the final answer will be same

OpenStudy (anonymous):

umm this what i did

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-7²=cot²theta+1 -49-1=cot²theta-1 √-50= √cot²
