Answer

$\cot\theta=\frac{\sqrt 3}{8}$ $\tan\theta=\frac{8\sqrt 3}{3}$ $\sec\theta=\frac{\sqrt {201}}{3}$ $\cos\theta=\frac{\sqrt {201}}{67}$ $\sin\theta=\frac{8\sqrt {67}}{67}$ $\csc\theta=\frac{\sqrt {67}}{8}$

Work Step by Step

$\cot\theta=\frac{\sqrt 3}{8}$ $\tan\theta=\frac{1}{\cot\theta}=\frac{8}{\sqrt {3}}=\frac{8\sqrt 3}{3}$ $\sec^{2}\theta=1+\tan^{2}\theta=1+\frac{64}{3}=\frac{67}{3}$ $\implies \sec\theta=\pm \frac{\sqrt {67}}{\sqrt 3}=\pm\frac{\sqrt {67\times3}}{3}$ $\sec\theta$ is positive in the first quadrant. $\implies \sec\theta=\frac{\sqrt {201}}{3}$ $\cos\theta=\frac{1}{\sec\theta}=\frac{\sqrt 3}{\sqrt{ 67}}=\frac{\sqrt {201}}{67}$ $\sin\theta=\tan\theta\times\cos\theta=\frac{8}{\sqrt 3}\times\frac{\sqrt 3}{\sqrt {67}}=\frac{8\sqrt {67}}{67}$ $\csc\theta=\frac{1}{\sin\theta}=\frac{\sqrt {67}}{8}$
