Question 856174: Find csc(theta), tan (theta), and cos (theta), where theta is the angle shown in the figure.
Give exact values, not decimal approximations
c=10
b=7
a=7.14
the right angle is locate between sides a and b and the theta angle is an acutle angle sides b and c.

i have sin theta as 500/357
i have csc theta as 7/10
i have tan theta as 51/50
did i do this right?

Find csc(theta), tan (theta), and cos (theta), where theta is the angle shown in the figure.
Give exact values, not decimal approximations
c=10
b=7
a=7.14
the right angle is locate between sides a and b and the theta angle is an acutle angle sides b and c.
----------
Comments: theta is the side opposite side "a"
c is the hypotenuse = 10
b = 7 is opposite angle B
--------------------------------
sin(theta) = opposite/hypotenuse = 7.14/10
csc(theta) = 10/7.14
-----------------
tan(theta) = a/b = 7.14/7
-----------------------------
cos(theta) = b/c = 7/10
---------------------------------
