Question

please helpppppppppp!

Explain the difference between using the trigonometric ratios (sin, cos, tan) to solve for a missing angle in a right triangle versus using the reciprocal ratios (sec, csc, cot). You must use complete sentences and any evidence needed (such as an example) to prove your point of view.

Answer 1

Basically the sin , cos and tan are the appropriate ones to use because its easier to use them as they are the ones you can find on a calculator.

Answer 2

sine of an angle = opposite/hypotenuse
cosecant is the reciprocal of that, so csc of an angle = hyp/opp

And so on.

Answer 3

whats the answer? @agent0smith @welshfella

Answer 4

I gave you part of it, just continue. Use SOHCAHTOA.

cos of an angle = ...?
sec of an angle is the reciprocal of that
