Answer

$sin\theta= -\frac{\sqrt {10}}{10}$, $cos\theta= -\frac{3\sqrt {10}}{10}$, $cot\theta= 3$, $sec\theta= -\frac{\sqrt {10}}{3}$, $csc\theta= -\sqrt {10}$.

Work Step by Step

Given $tan\theta=\frac{1}{3}$, let $y=1, x=3$. We have $r=\sqrt {x^2+y^2}=\sqrt {10}$. As $ \theta $ is in quadrant III, the signs of the other functions are also known. We have: $sin\theta=-\frac{y}{r}=-\frac{\sqrt {10}}{10}$, $cos\theta=-\frac{x}{r}=-\frac{3\sqrt {10}}{10}$, $tan\theta=\frac{y}{x}=\frac{1}{3}$, $cot\theta=\frac{x}{y}=3$, $sec\theta=-\frac{r}{x}=-\frac{\sqrt {10}}{3}$, $csc\theta=-\frac{r}{y}=-\sqrt {10}$.
