Question

Basic Trig Question- Picture Attached.

Answer 1

oh, there it is

Answer 2

what is your question?

Answer 3

What are the secant and cosecant? (sorry it took me so long to reply the website was glitching)

Answer 4

using similar triangles you can prove that sec(x) = 1/ cos(x) and that csc(x) = 1/sin(x).
(from the picture). in geometry, these relationships are usually just given without proof.

Answer 5

Hmmm... we were told in class that secant is hypotenuse/opposite and cosecant is hypotenuse/adjacent. Same thing or no?

Answer 6

I got the same answer I got before and it was marked wrong...

Answer 7

1.266861583

Answer 8

no... hypotenuse over adjact is secant. hypotenuse over opposite is cosecant

Answer 9

ooooooooooooooohhhhhhhh....

Answer 10

if you remember the pic and go through and prove (once), you'll never forget

Answer 11
