2) In a right triangle, the adjacent side to θ is 12 and the hypotenuse is 13. What is cos(θ)?

Explanation

Adjacent over hypotenuse gives cosine as 12 over 13.

Submit
3) If cos(θ) = 12/13, then sec(θ) = ?

Explanation

Secant is the reciprocal of cosine, so 13 over 12.

Submit
4) If tan(θ) = 7/24, then cot(θ) = ?

Explanation

Cotangent is the reciprocal of tangent, so 24 over 7.

Submit
5) The reciprocal of tangent is:

Explanation

The reciprocal of tangent is cotangent.

Submit
6) If cos(θ) = -4/5, then sec(θ) = ?

Explanation

Take the reciprocal of −4/5 to get secant −5/4.

Submit
7) Which function is undefined whenever cosine = 0?

Explanation

Tangent (and also secant) is undefined where cosine is zero; the expected choice here is tangent.

Submit
8) If cot(θ) = 5/12, then tan(θ) = ?

Explanation

The reciprocal of cotangent is tangent, so 12 over 5.

Submit
9) For the triangle in Q15, cos(θ) = ?

Explanation

Cosine is adjacent over hypotenuse, so 40 over 41.

Submit
10) If sec(θ) = 17/8, then cos(θ) = ?

Explanation

The reciprocal of secant gives cosine 8 over 17.

Submit
11) If csc(θ) = 13/12, then sin(θ) = ?

Explanation

The reciprocal of cosecant gives sine 12 over 13.

Submit
12) In a right triangle, if the side opposite θ is 8 and the hypotenuse is 17, what is sin(θ)?

Explanation

Opposite over hypotenuse gives sine as 8 over 17.

Submit
13) The reciprocal of cosine is:

Explanation

The reciprocal of cosine is secant.

Submit
14) If sin(θ) = -12/13, then csc(θ) = ?

Explanation

Take the reciprocal of −12/13 to get cosecant −13/12.

Submit
15) If tan(θ) = 3/4, then sin(θ) = ?

Explanation

A 3–4–5 triangle matches the ratio 3/4 for tangent, so sine is 3/5.

Submit
16) If tan(θ) = 3/4, then cos(θ) = ?

Explanation

With the same triangle, cosine is 4/5.

Submit
17) Which function is undefined whenever sine = 0?

Explanation

Cosecant is undefined where sine is zero.

Submit
18) In a right triangle, if one leg is 9, the other leg is 40, and the hypotenuse is 41, then sin(θ) opposite the side 9 is:

Explanation

Sine is opposite over hypotenuse, so 9 over 41.

Submit
19) For the triangle in Q15, csc(θ) = ?

Explanation

Cosecant is the reciprocal of sine, so 41 over 9.

Submit
20) Which reciprocal pair matches correctly?

Explanation

The correct reciprocal pair is tangent and cotangent.
