It's been 4 years since I've done this… needless to say i can't remember…

Could anyone do the problem and explain each step? thanks<3

You should first create the triangle. +1 is the x, -3 is the y, and you can solve for the hypotenuse. It should be radical 10. Cosecant is hypotenuse / y so it's (radical 10 / -3) or (- radical 10 / 3)
