Given csc A= 37/12 and that angle A is in Quadrant I, find the exact value of sec A in simplest radical form using a rational denominator.

Step-by-step explanation:

Below is the pic of how this would be set up in order to determine what it is you are looking for. The angle is set in QI, and since csc A is the reciprocal of sin, the ratio is hypotenuse over side opposite. Solve for the missing side using Pythagorean's Theorem:

and

1369 = 144 + b² and

1225 = b² so

b = 35

The sec ratio is the reciprocal of cos, so if cos is adjacent over hypotenuse, the sec is hypotenuse over adjacent, which is 37/35

Best answer that i found on yahoo ok   set :   x= length of 2nd piece in cm  x- 3= length of 1st piece in cm  x-4= length of 3rd piece in cm  then since you know they all came from the 20 cm ribbon you add them together and set them equal to 20x+ x-3 +x-4 = 20  3x - 7= 20  3x= 27  x= 9  the shortest piece is the third piece which is x- 4  x-4  9-4 = 5  the length of the smallest piece is 5 cm.  the other lengths are  9 cm  6 cm
