Check the picture below.

$\bf \textit{using the pythagorean theorem}
\\\\
c^2=a^2+b^2\implies \sqrt{c^2-a^2}=b
\qquad 
\begin{cases}
c=hypotenuse\\
a=adjacent\\
b=opposite\\
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
\sqrt{41^2-(-9)^2}=b\implies \sqrt{1681-81}=b\\\\\\ \sqrt{1600}=b\implies 40=b\\\\
-------------------------------$

$\bf sin(\theta )=\cfrac{\stackrel{opposite}{40}}{\stackrel{hypotenuse}{41}}\qquad~~ cos(\theta )=\cfrac{\stackrel{adjacent}{-9}}{\stackrel{hypotenuse}{41}}\qquad~~ tan(\theta )=\cfrac{\stackrel{opposite}{40}}{\stackrel{adjacent}{-9}}
\\\\\\
csc(\theta )=\cfrac{\stackrel{hypotenuse}{41}}{\stackrel{opposite}{40}}\qquad ~~sec(\theta )=\cfrac{\stackrel{hypotenuse}{41}}{\stackrel{adjacent}{-9}}\qquad ~~cot(\theta )=\cfrac{\stackrel{adjacent}{-9}}{\stackrel{opposite}{40}}$
