You can put this solution on YOUR website! Find cosθ and sinθ, given that tanθ=3, and 180° < θ < 270° ----
 Note:: t is in QII where x is negative and y is negative
 ----
 By definition tan = y/x = 3/1
 Therefore y = -3 and x = -1
 -------
 r = sqrt[3^2+1^2] = sqrt(10)
 -------
 cos = x/r = -1/sqrt(10)
 sin = y/r = -3/sqrt(10)
 ----------
