Trig: Basic Trig Part II Sec, Csc & Cot 315

This lesson is part of the following series:

Trigonometry (10 lessons, $37.62)
Beginning Trigonometry, Sin Cos Tan Sec Csc & Cot (3 lessons, $14.85)

This 67 minute trigonometry lesson follows Lesson 300 Basic Trigonometry Part I to study the 3 reciprocal trig ratios, cosecant (csc), secant (sec) and cotangent (cot) or ctn. Special angles and exact value are also covered. This lesson will show you how to:
- find the reciprocal ratios of an acute angle
- use your calculator with cosecant, secant and cotangent
- use cosecant, secant and cotangent to solve problems
- work with special angles (30, 45 & 60 degrees) and exact values (values obtained without the use of a calculator)

This lesson contains explanations of the concepts and 15 example questions with step by step solutions plus 4 interactive review questions with solutions.

The following lesson will help you with the fundamentals of this lesson:
