Find values of the trigonometric functions of the angle whose terminal side passes through the given point. (0.06, 0.08).
..
Given requirement gives us a right triangle in quadrant I with x=.06 and y=.08 which makes the hypotenuse .10,calculated by using the pythagorean theorem. Both sin and cos values are positive in quadrant I.
hypotenuse=sqrt(.06^2+.08^2)=.10
Calling the reference angle A
sinA=.08/.10=.8
cosA=.06/.10=.6
tanA=.08/.06=1.333..
cscA=.10/.08=1.25
secA=.10/.06=1.666..
cotA=.06/.08=.75
