Answer

$\sin \theta=\dfrac{3 \sqrt{73}}{73}$ $\cos \theta=\dfrac{8\sqrt{73}}{73}$ $\tan \theta=\dfrac{3}{8}$ $\csc \theta=\dfrac{\sqrt{73}}{3}$ $\sec \theta=\dfrac{\sqrt{73}}{8}$ $\cot \theta=\dfrac{8}{3}$

Work Step by Step

Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the Hypotenuse. $Hypotenuse=\sqrt {3^2+8^2}=\sqrt {9+84}=\sqrt{73}$ $\sin \theta=\dfrac{Opposite}{Hypotenuse}=\dfrac{3}{\sqrt{73}}=\dfrac{3 \sqrt{73}}{73}$ $\cos \theta=\dfrac{Adjacent}{Hypotenuse}=\dfrac{8}{\sqrt{73}}=\dfrac{8\sqrt{73}}{73}$ $\tan \theta=\dfrac{Opposite}{Adjacent}=\dfrac{3}{8}$ $\csc \theta=\dfrac{Hypotenuse}{Opposite}=\dfrac{\sqrt{73}}{3}$ $\sec \theta=\dfrac{Hypotenuse}{Adjacent}=\dfrac{\sqrt{73}}{8}$ $\cot \theta=\dfrac{Adjacent}{Opposite}=\dfrac{8}{3}$
