Cosecant of 195 Degrees

Theorem

$\csc 195^\circ = \csc \dfrac {13 \pi} {12} = - \left({\sqrt 6 + \sqrt 2}\right)$

where $\csc$ denotes cosecant.


Proof

\(\ds \csc 195^\circ\) \(=\) \(\ds \csc \left({360^\circ - 165^\circ}\right)\)
\(\ds \) \(=\) \(\ds -\csc 165^\circ\) Cosecant of Conjugate Angle
\(\ds \) \(=\) \(\ds - \left({\sqrt 6 + \sqrt 2}\right)\) Cosecant of 165 Degrees

$\blacksquare$
