Alright...

OpenStudy (ankit042):

Now try to use this and get your answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

B. 3/4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is that right?

OpenStudy (ankit042):

NO cosec is 1/sin so in a triangle it will be hypotenuses/height

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh okay, so C! 8/5

OpenStudy (ankit042):

cam you explain how you got C?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cot=base/height. The base of this triangle is 8 and the height is 5

OpenStudy (ankit042):

base is not 8 check again 8 is the hypo
