Thread: Trigonometry, solving for between 0 and 360

Hi!

I'm trying to solve θ between 0° and 360°

I know that if θ = 0.7 then θ = 44.4 (because (0.7)= 44.4 to 1.d.p)

I know this for and but how do I solve for Cosec, Cot and Sec?

In particular the questions im looking at are:

1) Cosecθ = 2.3
2) Cotθ = -4.26
3) Secθ = 1.5

Im not really looking for the answers but the method itself, thank you!

Do one of two things...just take the or use the theorem that for he co-functions you just reciprocate the ...example ...also note the converse works

and as for all of the arc things..if you were unfamiliar with that notation
