Math Problem Statement

Find the value of each of the six trigonometric functions of the angle thetaθ in the figure.

Solution

To find the value of each of the six trigonometric functions of an angle θ\theta, we need to know the lengths of the sides of a right triangle or the coordinates of a point on the terminal side of the angle in standard position.

The six trigonometric functions for an angle θ\theta are defined as follows, assuming a right triangle with an angle θ\theta:

  1. Sine (sinθ\sin\theta): oppositehypotenuse\frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{hypotenuse}}
  2. Cosine (cosθ\cos\theta): adjacenthypotenuse\frac{\text{adjacent}}{\text{hypotenuse}}
  3. Tangent (tanθ\tan\theta): oppositeadjacent\frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}}
  4. Cosecant (cscθ\csc\theta): hypotenuseopposite\frac{\text{hypotenuse}}{\text{opposite}} or 1sinθ\frac{1}{\sin\theta}
  5. Secant (secθ\sec\theta): hypotenuseadjacent\frac{\text{hypotenuse}}{\text{adjacent}} or 1cosθ\frac{1}{\cos\theta}
  6. Cotangent (cotθ\cot\theta): adjacentopposite\frac{\text{adjacent}}{\text{opposite}} or 1tanθ\frac{1}{\tan\theta}

Solution Approach

To calculate these values, we need:

  • Either the side lengths of a right triangle
  • Or the coordinates of a point on the terminal side of the angle θ\theta

Request for Additional Information

Please provide:

  • A description of the figure, such as side lengths or coordinates of a point related to the angle θ\theta.
  • A clear image of the figure for accurate calculation.

Once you provide this information, I can calculate the values of all six trigonometric functions for angle θ\theta.

Would you like to proceed by providing more details or uploading an image?

Follow-up Questions:

  1. Do you have a specific figure or right triangle in mind?
  2. Are the coordinates of a point on the unit circle provided?
  3. Is there any information about the quadrant where angle θ\theta lies?
  4. Do you need the values of the trigonometric functions in a specific form (exact, decimal)?
  5. Are there any constraints or conditions for the angle θ\theta in the problem?

Tip:

To solve trigonometry problems effectively, always start by identifying the triangle's sides or the coordinates in relation to the angle in question.
