The results in the question conclude that it is an isosceles triangle so your answer can vary; for example, your could be 10, 22, 18 which would make the perimeter 50 like the question states. So your answer will vary anyways you just have to remember that it is an isosceles triangle so all three sides will be a different length.
Answer:
-sinx
Step-by-step explanation:
a trig identity that is crucial to solving this problem is: sin^2 + cos^2 = 1
with knowing that, you can manipulate that and turn it into 1 - sin^2x = cos^x
so 1-sin^2x/sinx - cscx becomes cos^2x/sinx - cscx
it is also important to know that cscx is the same thing as 1/sinx
knowing this information, cscx can be replaced with 1/sinx
(cos^2x)/(sinx - 1/sinx)
now sinx and 1/sinx do not have the same denominator, so we need to multiply top and bottom of sinx by sinx; it becomes....
cos^2x
---------------------
(sin^2x - 1)/sinx
notice how in the denominator it has sin^2x-1 which is equal to -cos^2x
so now it becomes:
cos^2x
--------------
-cos^2x/sinx
because we have a fraction over a fraction, we need to flip it
cos^2x sinx
---------- * ----------------
1 - cos^2x
because the cos^2x can cancel out, it becomes 1
now the answer is -sinx
