Calculating Cosecant, Secant, and cotangent Adapted from Walch Education
Remember: Cosecant is the reciprocal of sine. Given the angle Secant is the reciprocal of cosine. Given the Cotangent is the reciprocal of tangent. Given the
Based on the given information, we must use the secant function, the reciprocal of cosine. Secant is the reciprocal of cosine. This means that
x ≈ 33.457 Since most calculators do not have buttons for the reciprocal functions, you will have to substitute this value in the expression in order to correctly calculate the value of x.
