Answer:

1. Cos θ = 6√2 / 11

2. Tan θ = 7 / 6√2

3. Cosec θ = 11 / 7

4. Sec θ = 11 / 6√2

5. Cot θ = 6√2 / 7

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Sine θ = 7 / 11

Next, we shall determine the adjacent of the right triangle. This can be obtained as follow:

Sine θ = 7 / 11

Sine θ = Opposite / Hypothenus

Opp = 7

Hypo = 11

Adj =?

Hypo² = Opp² + Adj²

11² = 7² + Adj²

121 = 49 + Adj²

Collect like terms

Adj² = 121 – 49

Adj² = 72

Take the square root of both side

Adj = √72

Adjacent = 6√2

1. Determination of Cos θ

Adjacent = 6√2

Hypothenus = 11

Cos θ =?

Cos θ = Adjacent / Hypothenus

Cos θ = 6√2 / 11

2. Determination of Tan θ

Opposite = 7

Adjacent = 6√2

Tan θ =?

Tan θ = Opposite / Adjacent

Tan θ = 7 / 6√2

3. Determination of Cosec θ

Sine θ = 7 / 11

Cosec θ =?

Cosec θ = 1 ÷ Sine θ

Cosec θ = 1 ÷ 7 / 11

Cosec θ = 1 × 11/7

Cosec θ = 11/7

4. Determination of Sec θ

Cos θ = 6√2 / 11

Sec θ =?

Sec θ = 1 ÷ Cos θ

Sec θ = 1 ÷ 6√2 / 11

Sec θ = 1 × 11 / 6√2

Sec θ = 11 / 6√2

5. Determination of Cot θ

Tan θ = 7 / 6√2

Cot θ =?

Cot θ = 1 ÷ Tan θ

Cot θ = 1 ÷ 7 / 6√2

Cot θ = 1 × 6√2 / 7

Cot θ = 6√2 / 7
