The exact values of

sinθ = -12/13

sec θ = 13/5

What is trigonometric ratio?

Trigonometric ratios express the relationships between angles and sides in a right triangle.

Common ratios include sine (opposite/hypotenuse), cosine (adjacent/hypotenuse), and tangent (opposite/adjacent).

Since cotθ is fourth quadrant it means it is only cos that will be positive.

cot θ = -5/12 = adj/opp

opp = 12

adj = 5

hyp = √ 12² + 5²

= √169

= 13

therefore

1. sinθ = opp/hyp

sinθ = - 12/13( sine is negative in fourth quadrant)

2. secθ = hyp/adj

= 13/5 ( sec and cos are positive at the fourth quadrant)
