Examples
- The cosec of an angle in a right-angled triangle is the ratio of the hypotenuse to the opposite side.
- To find the cosec, we simply switch the positions of the sine values in a right-angled triangle.
- Cosec, also known as cosecant, is a trigonometric function representing the ratio of the hypotenuse to the opposite side in a right-angled triangle.
- Students use cosec when dealing with obtuse and acute angles in trigonometry to derive values from right-angled triangles.
- The calculation of the cosec involves the length of the hypotenuse and the length of the opposite side to an angle within the triangle.
