A peer is having difficulty finding angle measures using trigonometric ratios in a right triangle. Create an example to demonstrate how to do this and be sure to address using the reciprocal relationships (cosecant, secant, cotangent) too.

Question

|dw:1464024039809:dw|i think the question is just asking you to take any right triangle, mark the sides, take a reference angles, indentify the hypotenuse, and write all the trignometric ratios for that triangle

ex: $sin(\theta$)= AB/AC

Possibly but I don't understand cosecant and all that jazz

simplymarie_x · Answer

I think I'll just forfeit this question, and write down just the formulas. A couple points off won't hurt me lol

baru · Answer

hey you already know sin and cos dont you,

cosec = 1/sin  ( its just the reciprocal of sin)

sec = 1/cos

Oh you're right. Thanks for the help though :-)

baru · Answer

cosec = AC/AB 
like literally just flip sin upside down, as simple as that.

you're welcome :)
