Answer

See graph: $sin\theta=\frac{3\sqrt {34}}{34} $ $cos\theta=\frac{5\sqrt {34}}{34} $ $tan\theta=\frac{3}{5} $ $csc\theta=\frac{\sqrt {34}}{3} $ $sec\theta=\frac{\sqrt {34}}{5} $

Work Step by Step

Given $cot\theta=\frac{5}{3} $, we can draw a right triangle as shown in the figure. The hypotenuse $x$ can be found as $x=\sqrt {5^+3^2}=\sqrt {34}$ and the other five trigonometric ratios are: $sin\theta=\frac{3}{\sqrt {34}}=\frac{3\sqrt {34}}{34} $ $cos\theta=\frac{5}{\sqrt {34}}=\frac{5\sqrt {34}}{34} $ $tan\theta=\frac{3}{5} $ $csc\theta=\frac{\sqrt {34}}{3} $ $sec\theta=\frac{\sqrt {34}}{5} $
