If csc(x) = 2.5151#

Since sin(x) = 1/csc(x)

sin(x) = 1/2.5151

x = arcsin(1/2.5151) = arcsin(0.397599)

x = 23.42814^@
color(white)("XXXXX") however this is only the "primary" solution

Within the range 0<=x<=360^@
color(white)("XXXXX") csc(pi - 23.42814^@)

color(white)("XXXXX") csc(156.5719^@)

has the same value.
