Find the values of the trigonometric functions of theta from the information given. tan(theta) = 21/20, theta in Quadrant III sin(theta) = -21 cos(theta) = -20 csc (theta) = -1/21 sec(theta) = -1/20 cot (theta) = 20/21Solution
If tan(x) = 21/20
also, tan(x) = perpendicular / base
We know that
hypotenuse2 = perpendicular2 + base2
h2 = 212 + 202
h = 841
h = 29
then sin(x) = p/h =21/29 and sin is negative in 3rd quadrant so
sin(x) = -21/29
cos(x) = b/h = 20/29 and cos is negative in the 3rd quadrant so
cos(x) = -20/29
csc(x) = 1/sin(x) = -29/21
sec(x) = 1/cos(x) = -29/20
cot(x) = 1/tan(x) = 20/21
