Given the figure of a right-angle triangle and the indicated angle θ

As shown, the hypotenuse = 7

And the opposite side = 4

We will use the Pythagorean theroem to find the adjacent side:


adjacent=√(7^2-4^2)=√(49-16)=√(33)

Now, we will find cot θ, sec θ, and cos θ as follows:


\begin{gathered} \cotθ=(adjacent)/(opposite)=(√(33))/(4) \\ \\ \secθ=(hypotenuse)/(adjacent)=(7)/(√(33))=(7√(33))/(33) \\ \\ \cosθ=(adjacent)/(hypotenuse)=(√(33))/(7) \end{gathered}

So, the answer will be:


\begin{gathered} \cotθ=(√(33))/(4) \\ \\ \secθ=(7√(33))/(33) \\ \\ \cosθ=(√(33))/(7) \end{gathered}
