Given:

The point is (0.6, 0.8).

The circle is unit circle.


The\text{ angle is }\theta.

Aim:


We\text{ need to find }cos\theta,sin\theta\text{ and }cot\theta.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find the sin theta is


sin\theta=(y)/(r)
where\text{ }r=√(x^2+y^2).

Substitute x =0.6 and y =0.8 in the equaion to find r.


r=√(0.6^2+0.8^2)=1

Substitute y =0.8, r=1 in the sine formula.


sin\theta=0.8

We know that


csc\theta=(1)/(sin\theta)=(1)/(0.8)=1.25

Consider the formula to find cosine.


cos\theta=(x)/(r)

Substitute x =0.6 and r =1 in the equation.


cos\theta=0.6

We know that


sec\theta=(1)/(cos\theta)=(1)/(0.6)=1.67

Consider the formula to find cot.


cot\theta=(x)/(y)

Substitute x =0.6 and y=0.8 in the equation.


cot\theta=(0.6)/(0.8)=0.75

Final answer:


csc\theta=1.25
sec\theta=1.67
cot\theta=0.75
