Answer 2

\[\huge\rm csc \theta =\frac{ 1 }{ \sin \theta }\]
and sin theta \[\rm sin \rm \theta = \frac{ opposite }{ hypotenuse }~~~~ \cos \theta = \frac{ adjacent }{ hypotenuse } ~~\tan \theta = \frac{ opposite }{ adjacent }\]

Answer 3

how do i find the opposite and the hypotenuse? @Nnesha

Answer 4

@jim_thompson5910

Answer 5

the hypotenuse is ALWAYS the longest side
it is always opposite the 90 degree angle

Answer 6

with relation to angle theta (symbol \(\large \theta\)), the 12 is the opposite side because it is the furthest from angle theta that you can get

the 9 is the adjacent side because it is touching the angle theta

Answer 7

71.62

Answer 8

oh wait its 4/5 so its true

Answer 9

well as Nnesha pointed out, sine = opposite/hypotenuse

so you just found out that sin(theta) = 4/5

Answer 10

but you need csc(theta)

Answer 11

i got 71.62

Answer 12

idk how you got that

Answer 13

idk whats the formula from there

Answer 14

sin(theta) = 4/5

1/sin(theta) = 5/4 ... take the reciprocal of both sides

csc(theta) = 5/4

Answer 15

so 5/4 is the answer

Answer 16

yes and not 4/5 like it states up at the very top

Answer 17

ohh ok thank youu!
