Who told you that?  Every right triangle has a 90o angle,

and sin%2890%5Eo%29%22%22=%22%22csc%2890%5Eo%29%22%22=%22%221

      Fatally  WRONG  focus-pocus.


For such tricks, the magician should be expelled from the stage and whistled.


-----------------


In order focus-pocus be correct, you should write it  THIS  WAY:

    Explain why a triangle with  sin x > csc x  does not exist.

Always remember that a magician at a stage walks on the edge of a knife,
and every his impromptu on a stage must be carefully prepared at home.


Those who made presentations in front of audience, know this rule very well.
It is the rule #1 of every speaker/presenter.

sin(angle) = opposite/hypotenuse where "angle" refers to the acute angle.
0 < angle < 90

sin(x) = csc(x) has the solution x = 90, but this angle is not acute.
