Final answer:

The expression sin(theta) * csc(theta) * tan(theta) can be written in terms of sine and cosine as sec(theta).

Step-by-step explanation:

To write the expression sin(theta) * csc(theta) * tan(theta) in terms of sine and cosine, we need to express the other trigonometric functions in terms of sine and cosine.

Using the reciprocal identities, we have csc(theta) = 1/sin(theta) and tan(theta) = sin(theta)/cos(theta).

Substituting these values into the original expression, we get: sin(theta) * (1/sin(theta)) * (sin(theta)/cos(theta)) = 1/cos(theta).

The expression simplifies to sec(theta), which is the reciprocal of cosine.
