Evaluate csc(30)

Problem

csc(30^∘)

Solution

1. Identify the definition of the cosecant function in terms of the sine function.

csc(θ)=1/sin(θ)

2. Substitute the given angle of 30^∘ into the identity.

csc(30^∘)=1/sin(30^∘)

3. Recall the exact value of sin(30^∘) from the unit circle or a special right triangle.

sin(30^∘)=1/2

4. Calculate the reciprocal of the sine value to find the final result.

csc(30^∘)=1/(1/2)

csc(30^∘)=2

Final Answer

csc(30^∘)=2
