Question 1041618:
A)
Write the function in terms of its cofunction. Assume that any angle in which an unknown appears is an acute angle.
csc 23°
B)
Convert the angle measures to degrees, minutes, and seconds. Round seconds to whole units, if necessary.
57.36° ...........(I got 57 21' 36" ) but they counted it wrong....
C)
The terminal side of angle θ in standard position lies on the given line in the given quadrant. Find sin θ, cos θ, and tan θ.
4X+7Y=0 IN quadrant II

B. They shouldn't have marked it wrong unless you left the degree symbol off of the 57 part when you submitted your answer.

My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it

A)
Write the function in terms of its cofunction. Assume that any angle in which an unknown appears is an acute angle.
csc 23° = sec(90-23) = sec(67 deg)
-----------------------------------
B)
Convert the angle measures to degrees, minutes, and seconds. Round seconds to whole units, if necessary.
57.36° ...........(I got 57 21' 36" ) but they counted it wrong....
57.36 deg = 57deg (.36*60)min = 57deg 21.6min = 57deg 21min 36sec
----------------------------------------
C)
The terminal side of angle θ in standard position lies on the given line in the given quadrant. Find sin θ, cos θ, and tan θ.
4X+7Y=0 IN quadrant II
y = (-4/7)x
If x = 7, y = -4
------
r = sqrt(7^2+4^2) = sqrt(65)
----------
sin = y/r = -4/sqrt(65)
cos = x/r = 7/sqrt(65)
tan = y/x = -4/7
------
csc = r/y = -sqrt(65)/4
sec = r/x = sqrt(65)/7
cot = x/y = -7/4
