Short Answer

Use a calculator to find the approximate value of each expression rounded to two decimal places: csc 5π13

The approximate value of the expression csc 5π13 is 1.07.

See the step by step solution

Step by Step Solution

Step 1. Given information

We are given an expression csc 5π13

We need to find the approximate value of the expression that is rounded to two decimal places.

Step 2. Concept

  • Note that csc θ = 1sin θ
  • While finding the values of the trigonometric functions using a calculator, we need to set the correct MODE in the calculator depending on whether the angle is in radian or in degree.

Step 3. Finding the approximate value of the given expression 

The given trigonometric expression is, csc 5π13

Since the angle is in radian, we have to set the correct MODE in the calculator to receive radian.

Most of the calculators do not have csc key. Therefore we will make use of the relation, csc θ = 1sin θ

Therefore,

role="math" localid="1646330067684" csc5π13=1sin5π13csc5π131.07

which is rounded off two two decimal places.

Step 4. Final Answer

The approximate value of the expression csc5π13=1.07
