Answer:

cot Ф

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that sin²Ф + cos²Ф = 1, (which also says that cos²Ф - 1 = sin²Ф).

Also recall the definitions of the csc, sin and cos functions.

Your expression is equivalent to:

   1               sin Ф

----------  -  -------------

sin Ф              1

===================

           cos Ф

There are three terms in your expression:  csc, sin and cos.  Multiply all of them by sin Ф.  The result should be:

 1 - sin²Ф

---------------

sin Ф · cos Ф

Using the Pythagorean identity (see above), this simplifies to

  cos²Ф

------------------

sin Ф·cos Ф

and this whole fraction reduces to

   cos Ф

--------------   and this ratio is the definition of the cot function.

   sin Ф

Thus, the original expression is equivalent to cot Ф

a rectangular prism has a volume of 300 cm squared if the scale factor of the second rectangular prism is 3.5 what is the volume
velikii [3]
Volume of rectangular prism= 30 cm³
Formula for volume of rectangular prism:
V=whl
Scale factor of second prism= 3.5 
Which is 3 and a half times greater than the 1st one.
So volume of 2nd prism = 3. 5 x 300 
V= 1050 cm³

Answer: Volume of second Rectangular Prism is 1050 cm³
