Theorem
- $\csc 225 \degrees = \csc \dfrac {5 \pi} 4 = -\sqrt 2$
where $\csc$ denotes cosecant.
Proof
\(\ds \csc 225 \degrees\) | \(=\) | \(\ds \map \csc {360 \degrees - 135 \degrees}\) | ||||||||||||
\(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds -\csc 135 \degrees\) | Cosecant of Conjugate Angle | |||||||||||
\(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds -\sqrt 2\) | Cosecant of $135 \degrees$ |
$\blacksquare$
