Question 39 of 65 • LAUSD-Pre-Calculus B (Prescriptive)
Which solution finds the value of x in the triangle below?
Answer
A
Secant 60 degrees = StartFraction 8 Over x EndFraction. 2 = StartFraction 8 Over x EndFraction. 2 x = 8. x = 4.
B
Cosecant 60 degrees = StartFraction 8 Over x EndFraction. StartFraction 2 StartRoot 3 EndRoot Over 3 EndFraction = StartFraction 8 Over x EndFraction. x times 2 StartRoot 3 EndRoot = 24. x = StartFraction 24 Over 2 StartRoot 3 EndRoot EndFraction. x = StartFraction 12 Over StartRoot 3 EndRoot EndFraction times StartFraction StartRoot 3 EndRoot Over StartRoot 3 EndRoot EndFraction. x = StartFraction 12 StartRoot 3 EndRoot Over 3 EndFraction. x = 4 StartRoot 3 EndRoot.
C
Secant 60 degrees = StartFraction 8 Over x EndFraction. One-half = StartFraction 8 Over x Endfraction. x = 16
D
Cosecant 60 degrees = StartFraction 8 Over x EndFraction. StartFraction StartRoot 3 EndRoot Over 2 EndFraction = StartFraction 8 Over x EndFraction. x times StartRoot 3 EndRoot = 16. x = StartFraction 16 Over StartRoot 3 EndRoot EndFraction. x = StartFraction 16 Over StartRoot 3 EndRoot EndFraction times StartFraction StartRoot 3 EndRoot Over StartRoot 3 EndRoot EndFraction. x = StartFraction 16 StartRoot 3 EndRoot Over 3 EndFraction.
