Answer:
sin A = 15/17
sec A = 17/8
Step-by-step explanation:
15 cot A = 8
First get cot A alone.
cot A = 8 / 15
Since cot is the reciprocal of tan then flip 15 and 8.
tan A = 15 / 8
Now you have the opposite and adjacent sides, just find the hypotenuse with Pythagorean's theorem
15^2 + 8^2 = 289
= 17
Now that you have all the sides use the opposite and hypotenuse to get sine and the adjacent and hypotenuse to get cosine then flip to get secant.
sin A = 15/17
cos A = 8/17
sec A = 17/8
