Enter any angle into the cosecant calculator. The calculator will display the result of that cosecant, also known as 1/sine(x).

Cosecant Formula

The following formula is used to calculate the value of a cosecant of an angle.

CSC(x) = 1/sin(x)

  • Where CSC is the cosecant
  • x is the angle in degrees or radians

As you can see from the equation above, the cosecant is equal to 1 divided by the sin of the same angle.

Cosecant Definition

A cosecant is defined as the inverse value of the sine of a value.
