Theorem
- $\csc 135 \degrees = \csc \dfrac {3 \pi} 4 = \sqrt 2$
where $\csc$ denotes cosecant.
Proof
| \(\ds \csc 135 \degrees\) | \(=\) | \(\ds \map \csc {180 \degrees - 45 \degrees}\) | ||||||||||||
| \(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds \csc 45 \degrees\) | Cosecant of Supplementary Angle | |||||||||||
| \(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds \sqrt 2\) | Cosecant of $45 \degrees$ |
$\blacksquare$
