Since we know that

, we can write:

Square both sides:

Use the Pythagorean Identity:

A little algebra

But we were given

, so:

Since

and

, we know that

also.

Since

, we can quickly derive

. I'll leave the details of that to you.

Now that we know three of the six functions, the rest are just reciprocals.

You can do the arithmetic.

My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it
