if csc of theta equals root 2, how many degrees is that?
--------------
csc%28theta%29+=+sqrt%282%29
Find theta in degrees.
That's what you should say.
--------------
sin = 1/csc
--> sin%28theta%29+=+sqrt%282%29%2F2
--> theta = 45 degs (the principal angle)
theta = 45, 135 + n*360 degrees, n = +/- 0, 1, 2, 3...
