Recall the Trigonometric Ratio below:


\tt{ \large{sin \theta = (opposite)/(hypotenuse) } }\\ \tt{\large{cos \theta = (adjacent)/(hypotenuse) }} \\ \tt{ \large{tan \theta = (opposite)/(adjacent) }}

For csc, sec and cot - they are reciprocal of sin,cos and tan.


\tt{ \large{csc \theta = (1)/(sin \theta) } }\\ \tt{ \large{sec \theta = (1)/(cos \theta) }} \\ \tt{ \large{cot \theta = (1)/(tan \theta) }}

What we know now is our hypotenuse, adjacent and opposite length.

  • hypotenuse = 15
  • opposite = 12
  • adjacent = 9

Therefore,


\large{sin \theta = (12)/(15) \longrightarrow (4)/(5) } \\ \large{cos \theta = (9)/(15) \longrightarrow (3)/(5) } \\ \large{ tan \theta = (12)/(9) \longrightarrow (4)/(3) }As for the reciprocal of three trigonometric ratio. We just swap the numerator and denominator.


\large{csc \theta = (15)/(12) \longrightarrow (5)/(4) } \\ \large{sec \theta = (15)/(9) \longrightarrow (5)/(3) } \\ \large{cot \theta = (9)/(12) \longrightarrow (3)/(4) }

Answer

  • sin = 12/15 —> 4/5
  • cos = 9/15 —> 3/5
  • tan = 12/9 —> 4/3
  • csc = 15/12 —> 5/4
  • sec = 15/9 —> 5/3
  • cot = 9/12 —> 3/4

The first is non-simplifed form while the second that has the arrow pointing is the simplest form.

Let me know if you have any doubts.
