Introduction to Tangent, Cotangent, Secant, and Cosecant<\/h1>\n

Objective<\/h4>\n

In this lesson, you will cover what tangent, cotangent, secant, and cosecant are used for and how they are used. You\u00a0will also learn to use the basic trigonometric ratios that were mentioned in an earlier section to help you solve\u00a0for cotangent, secant, and cosecant.<\/p>\n

Previously Covered:<\/h4>\n

There are six major trigonometric ratios <\/strong><\/em>that\u00a0can help you to solve for lengths of sides in right triangles. The\u00a0three that we have covered so far are as follows:<\/p>\n
