Question 918469: Still feel confused here
Find the values of the trigonometric functions of t from the given information.
cos t = − 12/13
Terminal point of t is in Quadrant III
sin t =
tan t =
csc t =
sec t =
cot t =
Is Sin t and the other a standard trig identities or something because I cant find it anywhere. Don't quite understand how these are solved with the given information. If someone could please explain these it would be greatly appreciated.

Refer to a graph of the unit circle with labeled reference angles.

t is just a little bit greater than . The sine will also be negative if the terminal point is in quadrant III.

Use either a scientific calculator or a table of trigonometric function values to find the "arc whose cosine is " ; you will use the decimal value for this cosine.

You could use the Pythagorean relationship between sine and cosine to find sine of t:
