Explain the difference between using the sine ratio to solve for a missing angle in a right triangle versus using the cosecant ratio. You must use complete sentences and any evidence needed (such as an example) to prove your point of view.

Question

directrix · Answer

How are the sine ratio and cosecant ratios related? 

As in an the trigonometric identities.

prince1342 · Answer

Well Sine uses opposte over hyptonuse while cos is adjacent over hypotenuse

prince1342 · Answer

@Directrix Is that close?

directrix · Answer

>Well Sine uses opposte over hyptonuse while csc is 

You compared sine to cosine.

Try again.

Compare sine to cosecant which is csc

prince1342 · Answer

Sine is opposite over hypotenuse for right triangles while csc is the same but for acute?

directrix · Answer

No.

directrix · Answer

The sine and cosecant functions are reciprocals.

prince1342 · Answer

Ahh so they are different but also alike?

directrix · Answer

They are reciprocals.

Just as 2/3 and 3/2 are reciprocals. They multiply to 1.

prince1342 · Answer

Oh I okay I understand now. Thank you so much! I really appreciate the time you took to help me understand :D

directrix · Answer

What about this:

 You must use complete sentences and any evidence needed (such as an example) to prove your point of view.

prince1342 · Answer

I planned on using a fraction as an example

prince1342 · Answer

like csc=1/sine and sine=1/csc

directrix · Answer

For the triangle below, what is the value of sin (theta)?

Then, give the fraction for the value of csc(theta).

Post what you get.
