Question

In PQR,the measure of

Answer 1

Step 1:

The cosecant is the reciprocal of the sine. It is the ratio of the hypotenuse to the side opposite a given angle in a right triangle.

Step 2:

In this triangle PQR, where the angle under consideration is P,

the hypotenuse is 53, the opposite is 28 and the adjacent side is 45.

Step 3:

From the definition in step 1,

`\begin{gathered} \text{Cosecant P = }\frac{\text{hypotenuse}}{\text{opposite}} \\ \\ \text{Cosecant P = }(53)/(28) \\ \end{gathered}`

CONCLUSION:

The ratio that represents the cosecant of angle P is;

`(53)/(28)`
