Question

Given cot ø = 4/3. Find the other two reciprocal trigonometic ratios. 1) scs 2) sec

Answer 1

csc ø = 5/3 ; sec ø = 5/4

Explanation:

cot ø = adj/opp

adj = 4

opp = 3

after that, we must find the hypotenuse by using phytagoras theorem

hpy² = adj² + opp²

hpy² = 4² + 3²

hpy² = 25

hpy = 5

now let's find the other

csc ø (not scs) = hyp/opp = 5/3

sec ø = hyp/adj = 5/4
