Answer:
The angle is in the second quadrant.
Step-by-step explanation:
The cosecant of an angle is the same as the reciprocal of the sine of that angle. In other words, as long as ,
.
Therefore, is equivalent to
.
Consider a unit circle centered at the origin. If the terminal side of angle intersects the unit circle at point
, then
, and
.
For angle ,
, meaning that the intersection is to the left of the
-axis.
, meaning that the intersection is above the
-axis.
In other words, this intersection is above and to the left of the origin. That corresponds to second quadrant of the cartesian plane.
