Answer

$\csc 670^{\circ} 20'$ = -1.3118

Work Step by Step

Given function- $\csc 670^{\circ} 20'$ We have to convert it to decimal degrees first- $\csc 670^{\circ} 20'$= $\csc (670^{\circ} + 20')$ = $\csc (670^{\circ} + (\frac{20}{60})^{\circ})$ = $\csc (670^{\circ} + (0.3333)^{\circ})$ = $\csc 670.3333^{\circ} $ Using calculator in degree mode- 670.3333 → $\sin$ → $\frac{1}{x}$ (Recall $\csc\theta$ = $\frac{1}{\sin\theta}$) $\csc 670.3333^{\circ}$ = -1.3118327614 Rounding it to four places past the decimal point- $\csc 670.3333^{\circ}$ = -1.3118 or $\csc 670^{\circ} 20'$ = -1.3118
