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.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i already answered the question i just need help making an example

OpenStudy (fortytherapper):

I'd say to create a triangle

OpenStudy (fortytherapper):

If the opposite is 4, adjacent is 3, and hypotenuse is 5, how would you calculate the angle using Sine?

OpenStudy (phi):

what did you put for the answer ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@phi i put "soh cah toa. The difference between using the sine ratio to solve for a missing angle in a right angle vs using the cosecant ratio is that sine is opposite over the hypotenuse and cosecant is adjacent over hypotenuse. Cos is also the reciprocal of sin."

OpenStudy (phi):

ok, but cosecant is 1/sin (not 1/ cos)

OpenStudy (phi):

so the difference is the ratios are inverses of each other (one is the "flip" of the other) I would say the hardest part about using the cosecant is that most calculators don't have it.
