The picture below shows a box sliding down a ramp:

.

What is the distance, in feet, that the box has to travel to move from point A to point C?
12 divided by sec 65 degrees
12 cosec 65°
12 sin 65°
12 divided by cot 65 degrees

Answer 1

You can use the law of sines to solve this:
\[\frac{ 12 }{ \sin(65°) }=B\]

Answer 2

Is there another way to write 1/sin?

Answer 3

-1 sin?

Answer 4

or Sec?

Answer 5

is it A?

Answer 6

Wait...the question needs to be solved using an alternate method.

Answer 7

Ok? @Aveline what method is that?

Answer 8

I'm sorry...I don't think any of the answers are correct...
I thought that the side we were looking for was 13.24, or 12/sin(65)

Answer 9

Alright thank you for trying.
