2) If sin(θ) = 3/5, then csc(θ) = ?

Explanation

Cosecant is the reciprocal of sine, so 5 over 3.

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

Explanation

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

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

Explanation

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

Submit
6) The reciprocal of tangent is:

Explanation

The reciprocal of tangent is cotangent.

Submit
7) The reciprocal of cosine is:

Explanation

The reciprocal of cosine is secant.

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

Explanation

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

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

Explanation

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

Submit
10) 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
11) If tan(θ) = 3/4, then cos(θ) = ?

Explanation

With the same triangle, cosine is 4/5.

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

Explanation

Cosecant is undefined where sine is zero.

Submit
13) 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
14) If cot(θ) = 5/12, then tan(θ) = ?

Explanation

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

Submit
15) 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
16) For the triangle in Q15, cos(θ) = ?

Explanation

Cosine is adjacent over hypotenuse, so 40 over 41.

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

Explanation

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

Submit
18) Which reciprocal pair matches correctly?

Explanation

The correct reciprocal pair is tangent and cotangent.

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

Explanation

The reciprocal of secant gives cosine 8 over 17.

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

Explanation

The reciprocal of cosecant gives sine 12 over 13.
