OT: Trigonometry Help

[Bilbo]

I'm frustrated because I can't figure this out and I know it's simple, but please help! Haha!

In finding the Cosecant and Cotangent of an angle, this is what I have:

Csc= 17
____
2 sq root 30

Cot= 13
____
2 sq root 30

I know that they cant be left that way, but do I multiply both the top and the bottom by 2 sq root 30 or just sq root 30? Any help from a math guru? Some of my trig class is easy and some hard. Would help to have a professor that wanted to make sure we understand. He just goes too fast. Thanks and no laughing!!!

BTW....Hyp= 17, Adj= 13 and Opp = 2 sq root 30

On a 30 degree angle, the side opposite is 1/2 of the hypotinuse if that helps. I just use my calculator.

You can multiply top and bottom by sq root of 30.

csc = (17 * sq root 30)/(2 * 30) = (17 sq root 30)/60 = 1.55

cot = (13 * sq root 30)/(2 * 30) = (13 sq root 30)/60 = 1.19

Your angle is just over 40°

I was fixin to go diggin around for a trig book and do some studyin to help out, but ya got to it before I could

been years since I had trig...and I won't be teaching anything this advanced in my middle school classes (study skills)

Boy did I come to the wrong place.

There are only two possible answers, and they are both correct.

It's either C
or
George Washington
