Learn how to create a triangle and evaluate all six trig functions given cosecant

The video tutorial explains how to solve a trigonometric problem involving the cosecant of Theta. It begins by defining cosecant and setting up a triangle. The Pythagorean theorem is used to find the adjacent side, and all six trigonometric functions are calculated. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of simplifying radicals and rationalizing denominators, providing a step-by-step approach to solving the problem.

What does the cosecant of an angle represent in a right triangle?

• Hypotenuse over opposite

• Opposite over hypotenuse

• Adjacent over opposite

• Adjacent over hypotenuse

Which theorem is used to find the missing side of a right triangle?

• Sine Rule

• Cosine Rule

• Pythagorean Theorem

• Tangent Rule

What is the simplified form of the adjacent side if a = sqrt(448)?

• 8 * sqrt(7)

• 7 * sqrt(64)

• 7 * sqrt(8)

• 64 * sqrt(7)

How is the sine of Theta calculated in a right triangle?

• Opposite over adjacent

• Hypotenuse over opposite

• Opposite over hypotenuse

• Adjacent over hypotenuse

What is the process called when you eliminate radicals from the denominator?

• Factoring

• Simplifying

• Rationalizing

• Reciprocating
