Answer

$\sec{55^o}$

Work Step by Step

RECALL: The cofunction Identities: (1) $\sin{\theta} = \cos{(90^o-\theta)}$ (2) $\cos{\theta} = \sin{(90^o-\theta)}$ (3) $\tan{\theta} = \cot{(90^o-\theta)}$ (4) $\cot{\theta} = \tan{(90-\theta^o)}$ (5) $\csc{\theta} = \sec{(90^o-\theta)}$ (6) $\sec{\theta} = \csc{(90^0-\theta)}$ Use identity (5) to obtain: $\csc{35^o} = \sec{(90^o-35^o)} = \sec{55^o}$
