Final answer:

The value of tan(θ) is 5/4.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the value of tan(θ), we can use the reciprocal identity of tangent:

tan(θ) = 1/cot(θ)

Since cot(θ) is the reciprocal of csc(θ), we can substitute the given value of csc(θ) into the formula:

tan(θ) = 1/(1/csc(θ))

tan(θ) = csc(θ)

Therefore, tan(θ) = csc(θ) = 5/4
