Answer

$\sin\theta$ = $\frac{5}{13}$ $\tan\theta$ = $\frac{5}{12}$ $\csc\theta$ = $\frac{13}{5}$ $\sec\theta$ = $\frac{13}{12}$ $\cot\theta$ = $\frac{12}{5}$

Work Step by Step

We know from first Pythagorean identity that- $\sin\theta$ = ± $\sqrt (1-\cos^{2}\theta)$ As $\theta$ terminates in Q I, Therefore $\sin\theta$ will be positive- $\sin\theta$ = $\sqrt (1-\cos^{2}\theta)$ substitute the given value of $\cos\theta$- $\sin\theta$ = $\sqrt (1-(\frac{12}{13})^{2})$ $\sin\theta$ = $\sqrt (1-\frac{144}{169})$ $\sin\theta$ = $\sqrt (\frac{169-144}{169})$ = $\sqrt (\frac{25}{169})$ $\sin\theta$ = $\frac{5}{13}$ By ratio identity- $\tan\theta$ = $\frac{\sin\theta}{\cos\theta}$ Substituting the values of $\sin\theta$ and $\cos\theta$- $\tan\theta$ = $\frac{5/13}{12/13}$ = $\frac{5}{12}$ From reciprocal identities- $\csc\theta$ = $\frac{1}{\sin\theta}$ = $\frac{1}{5/13}$ = $\frac{13}{5}$ $\sec\theta$ = $\frac{1}{\cos\theta}$ = $\frac{1}{12/13}$ = $\frac{13}{12}$ $\cot\theta$ = $\frac{1}{\tan\theta}$ = $\frac{1}{5/12}$ = $\frac{12}{5}$ As $\theta$ terminates in Q I, Therefore all trigonometric functions will be positive.
