Find the exact values of the trigonometric functions for sin, cos, tan, csc, sec, and cot when Opposite side = a and Adjacent side = a. Find hypotenuse leg.
-----
hyp = sqrt(a^2 + a^2) = sqrt(2a^2) = asqrt(2)
===================
sin = opp/hyp = a/asqrt(2) = 1/sqrt(2)
cos = adj/hyp = 1/sqrt(2)
tan = opp/adj = a/a = 1
----------------
csc, sec, and cot are the inverse of sin, cos, and tan
==========================
