ipwnbunnies · Answer

This is a similar situation like the last question.
csc(theta) is the same as 1/sin(theta)
Solve for sin(theta), then use arcsin function.

anonymous · Answer

I'm confused :/

ipwnbunnies · Answer

$$\csc(\theta) = \frac{1}{\sin \theta}$$

anonymous · Answer

am I right so far ...$$\sin \theta=0.9560$$

ipwnbunnies · Answer

$$\frac{1}{\sin \theta} = 1.046$$

ipwnbunnies · Answer

Correct, now use the arcsine function to figure out which angle has a sine of 0.9560.

anonymous · Answer

$$\theta=\sin^{-1} 0.9560=72.9404$$

ipwnbunnies · Answer

Correct.

anonymous · Answer

$$\theta=73degrees60\min$$

ipwnbunnies · Answer

I'm not into minutes or seconds, sorry.

anonymous · Answer

oh okay,thanks for the help. I really don't know what the final answer is because I'm trying to figure out the minutes.

ipwnbunnies · Answer

Whoa, Idk what I just did. && Sorry man.
