Staff Review
This lesson continues from where the previous lesson left off but includes the trig functions secant (sec), cosecant (csc), and cotangent (cot). The 30, 60, 90 and 45, 45, 90 special triangles are used to easily find the values of trig functions at common angle measures. The answer to the final problem should be -(square root 3)/2, NOT -1/2.
