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.

HI!!

6. misty1212

one is the reciprocal of the other

hi can you help me plz

8. misty1212

but if you are looking for an angle, you really have to use sine lets give an example

9. misty1212

|dw:1439518386921:dw| suppose we are looking for angle $$x$$

ok

12. misty1212

then you have $\sin(x)=\frac{5}{7}$ and you also have $\csc(x)=\frac{7}{5}$

13. misty1212

but you want the angle, so you have to use the inverse trig function to find it

14. anonymous

yess

15. misty1212

$\sin(x)=\frac{5}{7}\\ \sin^{-1}(\frac{5}{7})=x$ you would use a calculator to get than number

16. misty1212

but no calculator has an inverse cosecant on it,so you would not be able to find $\csc^{-1}(\frac{7}{5})$ so get $$x$$

17. misty1212

you would have to use the inverse sine (sometimes called the "arcsine") that is the only way you could do it

18. anonymous

okay so the difference is that sine you can use inverse and cse u can't

19. misty1212

yes

thanks
