Use the mana value of the sacrificed creature as it last existed on the battlefield to determine how many cards to exile.

If the sacrificed creature had {X} in its mana cost, X is 0 for the purpose of determining its mana value.

You pay all costs and follow all normal timing rules for cards played from exile with Rakdos's triggered ability. For example, if the exiled card is a land card, you may play it only during your main phase while the stack is empty.
