In general,


\begin{gathered} 1+cot^2\theta=csc^2\theta \\ and \\ tan\theta=cot\theta \end{gathered}

Therefore,


\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow1+((1)/(tan^2\theta))=csc^2\theta \\ \Rightarrow1+1=csc^2\theta \\ \Rightarrow csc\theta=√(2);0\degree\leq\theta\leq90\degree \end{gathered}

Then, the answer is csc(θ)=sqrt(2)
