Because cos(x) = 1/sec(x), therefore
cos(48) = 1/1.4945 = 0.6691
The angle 48° is in quadrant 1, therefore cos, sin, tan, sec, csc and cot functions are all positive.
Note that sin(90° - x) = cos(x).
Therefore
sin(90 - 48) = cos(48)
sin(42°) = cos(48°) = 0.6691
Because csc(x) = 1/sin(x), therefore
csc(42°) = 1/sin(42°) = 1/0.6691 = 1.4945
Answer: 1.4945
The outlier in the data set is 5
All you need to do is use your calculator to solve that equation. Just so you don't need to for just this one, here's the answer you should type into the box:
