you can start by using the pythagorean and find A. once you get that you will be able to get sin, cos, and tan, and then you can get to cot, csc, and sec.

I found (a) which was 8. But when I do the six trigonometric functions the answer ends up wrong

which angle did you go by?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Angle C im assuming

mhmm. so what would sin be ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is a convention to represent the angles by capital letters and the sides opposite to them by small letters.
