To find the value of csc 30°, you first need to understand that csc (cosecant) is the reciprocal of the sine function. This means:

Step-by-Step Calculation

1. **Find sin 30°**: The sine of 30 degrees is a well-known value. It equals:

  • sin 30° = 1/2

2. **Calculate csc 30°**: Since csc is the reciprocal of sin, you can find csc 30° by taking the reciprocal of sin 30°:

  • csc 30° = 1 / sin 30°
  • csc 30° = 1 / (1/2)

3. **Simplify**: Dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal:

  • csc 30° = 1 * (2/1) = 2

Final Result

The value of csc 30° is 2.
