46.

csc is the reciprocal of sin.

One way to find  \(\sin\frac{4\pi}{3}\)  is by looking at a unit circle, like this one. We can see that

 

\(\sin\frac{4\pi}{3}\,=\,-\frac{\sqrt3}{2}\)

 

So

 

\(\csc\frac{4\pi}{3}\,=\,-\frac{2}{\sqrt3}\\~\\ \csc\frac{4\pi}{3}\,=\,-\frac{2}{\sqrt3}\cdot\frac{\sqrt3}{\sqrt3}\\~\\ \csc\frac{4\pi}{3}\,=\,-\frac{2\sqrt3}{3}\)

If  y  is the length of the beam and  θ  is the angle that the beam makes with the floor, then  9 ft  must be the distance along the floor that the bottom of the beam is from the wall.

 

y  =  length of the beam  =  9 sec 55°  ≈  15.7   ft
