Question

Assume that Theta is an acute angle in a right triangle satisfying the given conditions. Evaluate the indicated trig function.

Answer 1

\[\csc \theta = \frac{ 15 }{ 2 }; \cot \Theta\]

Answer 2

if you want the angle you would use soh cah toa. you know that the hypotenuse is going to be across from the 90 degree side since on a 90 degree triangle it is always going to be the largest angle possible for that triangle.

Answer 3

So if csc is \[\frac{ 1 }{ \sin x }\] that would make it \[\frac{ 1 }{ 15/2 }\] no? Maybe I'm just thinking too much.

Answer 4

define the angle and then use the information to indentify the sides



find tan(x)

then take the reciprocal for cot(x)
