Math Problem Statement
csc(21°)=sec(___°)
Solution
The equation can be solved by understanding the relationship between cosecant and secant. The cosecant function is the reciprocal of the sine function, and the secant function is the reciprocal of the cosine function. We need to find the angle such that:
This implies that:
Using the identity , we can see that:
Thus,
