Solution

The ratio of the hypotenuse of a right triangle to the opposite side with respect to a given angle is known as the cosecant of that angle. Here are the steps to find it:

  1. Identify the given angle in the right triangle.
  2. Identify the side opposite to the given angle.
  3. Identify the hypotenuse (the longest side of the right triangle).
  4. The ratio of the length of the hypotenuse to the length of the opposite side is the cosecant of the given angle.

Please note that the cosecant is the reciprocal of the sine of the angle. So, if you know the sine of the angle, you can find the cosecant by taking its reciprocal (1/sine).
