Answer

$\sin{\theta} =0.86$ $\cos{\theta} = 0.51$ $\tan{\theta} =1.69$ $\csc{\theta} =1.16$ $\sec{\theta} =1.96$ $\cot{\theta} =0.59 $

Work Step by Step

$\cos{\theta} = 0.51$ $\because \theta \in QI \hspace{20pt} \therefore \sin{\theta}$ is positive. $\sin{\theta} = \sqrt{1-\cos^2{\theta}} = \sqrt{1-(0.51)^2} \approx 0.86$ $\tan{\theta} = \dfrac{\sin{\theta}}{\cos{\theta}} = \dfrac{0.86}{0.51} \approx 1.69$ $\csc{\theta} = \dfrac{1}{\sin{\theta}} = \dfrac{1}{0.86} \approx 1.16$ $\sec{\theta} = \dfrac{1}{\cos{\theta}} = \dfrac{1}{0.51} \approx 1.96$ $\cot{\theta} = \dfrac{\cos{\theta}}{\sin{\theta}} = \dfrac{0.51}{0.86} \approx 0.59 $
