ankitshaw · Answer

cosec = hypotenuse/opposite

anonymous · Answer

i know 
sin = opposite/hypotenuse
cosine = adjacent/hypotenuse
tangent = opposite/adjacent

but i want to know if i can flip them cause my answer makes more sense if its hypotenuse/opposite and not opposite/hypotenuse

ankitshaw · Answer

then you will have to flip both the sides so
hypotenuse/opposite = 1/sin

wow thanks no where in my lesson does it say anything about cosec my teachers and school is doing a great job! (sarcasm)
thanks giving you a medal now and i already fanned you so i can't fan you again lol
