Answer

sinB = $\sqrt 91$/10 cosB = 3/10 tanB = $\sqrt 91$/3 cscB = 10$\sqrt 91$/91 secB = 10/3 cotB = 3$\sqrt 91$/91

Work Step by Step

Pythagorean Theorem to determine unknown leg of triangle: $a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2}$ $3^{2} + b^{2} = 10^{2}$ $b^{2} = 100 - 9 = 91$ b = $\sqrt 91$ Evaluate each trignometric function: sinB = o/h = $\sqrt 91$/10 cosB = a/h = 3/10 tanB = o/a = $\sqrt 91$/3 cscB = 10$\sqrt 91$/91 secB = h/a = 10/3 cotB = a/o = 3$\sqrt 91$/91
