Cos 208°50' is -0.876. It is a negative function.
Tan 208°50' is 0.5504. It is a positive function.
Cot 208°50' is 1.8167. It is a positive function.
Sec 208°50' is -1.1414. It is a negative function.
Cosec 208°50' is -2.073. It is a negative function.
Explanation of Solution
Given Information:
θ= 208°50'
In Quadrant 3, y is negative and x is negative.
In the above triangle, r is the hypotenuse, the adjacent side x is negative, the opposite side y is negative.
Conclusion:
Reference angle is 28°50'.
Sin 208°50' is -0.4822. It is a negative function.
