Answer

$\sin B=\frac{12}{13}$ $\cos B=\frac{5}{13}$ $\tan B=\frac{12}{5}$ $\csc B=\frac{13}{12}$ $\sec B=\frac{13}{5}$ $\cot B=\frac{5}{12}$

Work Step by Step

$c=\sqrt {a^{2}+b^{2}}=\sqrt {5^{2}+12^{2}}=13$ $\sin B=\frac{\text{side opposite}}{\text{hypotenuse}}=\frac{12}{13}$ $\cos B=\frac{\text{side adjacent}}{\text{hypotenuse}}=\frac{5}{13}$ $\tan B=\frac{\text{side opposite}}{\text{side adjacent}}=\frac{12}{5}$ The cosecant, secant, and cotangent ratios are reciprocals of the sine, cosine, and tangent values, respectively, so we have $\csc B=\frac{13}{12}$ $\sec B=\frac{13}{5}$ $\cot B=\frac{5}{12}$
