Question 1104013: Im stuck on this question:
Sketch a right triangle corresponding to cosθ=5/7.
Use the Pythagorean Theorem to determine the third side then find the other five trigonometric functions of theta.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks!

Cosine is adjacent over hypotenuse so ADJ=5, HYP=7.

Solving for Y.
5%5E2%2BY%5E2=7%5E2
Y%5E2=49-25
Y%5E2=24
Y=sqrt%2824%29
.

sin%28A%29=Y%2F7
tan%28A%29=Y%2F5
csc%28A%29=1%2Fsin%28A%29=7%2FY
sec%28A%29=1%2Fcos%28A%29=5%2F7
cot%28A%29=1%2Ftan%28A%29=5%2FY

Oops I used A instead of theta
