Answer

$cos\theta =\frac{3}{5}$, $tan\theta =\frac{4}{3}$, $cot\theta =\frac{3}{4}$, $sec\theta= \frac{5}{3}$, $csc\theta= \frac{5}{4}$.

Work Step by Step

Given $sin\theta=\frac{4}{5}$, let $y=4, r=5$. We have $x=\sqrt {r^2-y^2}=3$. As $\theta$ is acute, we know it is in quadrant I, thus the signs of the other functions are also known. We have: $sin\theta=\frac{y}{r}=\frac{4}{5}$, $cos\theta=\frac{x}{r}=\frac{3}{5}$, $tan\theta=\frac{y}{x}=\frac{4}{3}$, $cot\theta=\frac{x}{y}=\frac{3}{4}$, $sec\theta=\frac{r}{x}=\frac{5}{3}$, $csc\theta=\frac{r}{y}=\frac{5}{4}$.
