Answer: Choice E. 4/sqrt(7)
This is the same as writing [tex]\frac{4}{\sqrt{7}}[/tex]
=================================================
Explanation:
0.75 = 3/4
Recall that cosine is the ratio of adjacent over hypotenuse.
That means if cos(theta) = 3/4, then the adjacent is 3 units and the hypotenuse is 4 units.
Through the pythagorean theorem, we would then find that
a^2+b^2 = c^2
a = sqrt(c^2 - b^2)
a = sqrt(4^2 - 3^2)
a = sqrt(7)
This is the opposite side of reference angle theta.
From here, we can say
csc(angle) = hypotenuse/opposite
csc(theta) = 4/sqrt(7)
which points to choice E as the final answer.
