An angle x is between 180 degrees and 270 degrees. It's tangent is 5/12. Write the values of the other five trigonometric functions.
***
reference angle x is in quadrant III in which sin<0, cos<0, tan>0
working with a 5-12-13 reference right triangle in quadrant III
sinx=-5/13
cosx=-12/13
tanx=5/12
cscx=-13/5
secx=-13/12
cotx=12/5
