Answer:
B: 12 cosec 65°
Step-by-step explanation:
From the diagram attached, we cans see the triangle is a right angle triangle with a given internal angle of 65° and side AB with a length of 12 ft.
Now, we can use trigonometric ratios to find the distance the box has to move from point A to point C which is basically the distance AC.
Now, the given side AB is opposite to the angle. While the required side AC is the hypotenuse.
Thus;
Opposite/hypotenuse = sin θ
Thus;
AB/AC = 12/AC = sin 65
Thus;
AC = 12/sin 65
From trigonometric relationships, we know that;
1/sin θ = Cosec θ
Thus;
AC = 12 cosec 65

Starting from what I know (the difference between ribbons), I decided to go from the bottom and work my way up. I then noticed a pattern (each sum was three more of the previous one), and decided to keep my pattern of the three numbers but not have to do any major mental work and instead add three to the previous sum until I got to 38.
