x = 5, y = 12. By Pythagorean Theorem r = (5**5 + 12*12) ** 0.5 = 13
sin α = y/r = 12/13
cos α = x/r = 5/13
tan α = sin α/cosα = 12/5
cot α = 1/tan α = 5/12
csc α = 1/sin α = 13/12
sec α = 1/cos α = 13/5

asked 02/24/19Let P = (5, 12) be a point on the terminal side of a standard position angle α. Find the exact values of the six trig functions of α:
sin α
csc α
cos α
sec α
tan α
cot α
How do I find r?
