find the value of the other 5 trigonometric function from the given function cos 3/5 in quadrant 1
--------
I suppose you mean the cosine of the angle is 3/5
---
sin = sqrt(1 - cos^2) = 4/5
tan = sin/cos = 4/3
------
cot = 1/tan
sec = 1/cos
csc = 1/sin

sin+%28p%29+=+3%2F5
This scenario represents a 3-4-5 PYTHAG triple, so the ADJACENT side is 4 units
Therefore,
