We know that:
tan θ = opposite / adjacent
Therefore, let’s draw a right triangle where the angle θ is one of the acute angles, and the opposite side is x and the adjacent side is y. Then we can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the hypotenuse h:
h² = x² + y²
We can also use the definition of the tangent function to write:
tan θ = x / y = 2
Solving for x and y, we get:
x = 2y
Substituting into the Pythagorean theorem, we get:
h² = (2y)² + y² = 5y²
h = √(5y²) = y√5
Now we can find the values of the other trigonometric ratios:
sin θ = opposite / hypotenuse = x / h = 2y / (y√5) = 2/√5
cos θ = adjacent / hypotenuse = y / h = y / (y√5) = 1/√5
csc θ = 1 / sin θ = √5 / 2
sec θ = 1 / cos θ = √5
cot θ = 1 / tan θ = 1/2
Therefore, the values of the other trigonometric ratios are:
sin θ = 2/√5
cos θ = 1/√5
csc θ = √5/2
sec θ = √5
cot θ = 1/2
