Solution Steps
Step 1: Evaluate \(\csc(15^\circ)\)
The cosecant function is the reciprocal of the sine function: \(\csc(\theta) = \frac{1}{\sin(\theta)}\).
Calculate \(\sin(15^\circ)\) using a calculator in degree mode.
Take the reciprocal of the result to find \(\csc(15^\circ)\).
Round the final answer to five decimal places.
Step 2: Evaluate \(\sin(3.7)\)
Ensure the calculator is in radian mode since the angle is given in radians.
Calculate \(\sin(3.7)\) directly using the calculator.
