there is a picture of an angle whose sine (opposite over hypotenuse) is \(\frac{12}{13}\) what you need is the third side, which you find via pythagoras
OpenStudy (anonymous):
or else just remembering the famous \(5-12-13\)right triangle
if you compute it , you would compute
\[\sqrt{13^2-12^2}=\sqrt{136-144}=\sqrt{25}=5\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
now you can take any trig ratio you want

just remember you are in quadrant 3 so both sine and cosine are negative
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so cos a is 5/13 is -.385?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i meant cos theta
OpenStudy (anonymous):
minus since you are in quad 3
leave the decimal out of it, just
\[\cos(\theta)=-\frac{5}{13}\]

sso tan is 12/5
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes
OpenStudy (anonymous):
and cot is 5/12 sec 13/5 csc 13/12?? do any of those need to be negative
OpenStudy (anonymous):
secant and cosecant are negative
OpenStudy (anonymous):
they are the reciprocals of sine and cosine
both of those are negative in quadrant 3
