sect = -3/sqr13 = about -0.832 which is impossible as for any secant to be -1< sect < 1
the absolute value secant of any angle is always greater than or equal to 1
it can never be a proper fraction
sect is always greater than or equal to 1
or always less than or equal to -1
there are no solutions if the problem was copied correctly.
sect <0 and tant>0 suggests the 3rd quadrant
maybe the problem was sect = -sqr13/3 ??
then cost = -3/sqr13 = about 0.832
and t = about 33.7 degrees
sint = about 0.555
tant = 0.666
cott = cost/sint = 1/tant = about 1.5, actually exactly 1.5
csct = 1/sint = 1/.555 = about 1.8
or more precisely
if cost =-3/sqr13 then sqr13 is the hypotenuse, -3 is the adjacent side
and opposite side = -sqr(13-9)= -sqr4 = -2
sint = -2/sqr13
csct =-sqr13/2
tant =-2/-3 = 2/3
cott =3/2 = 1.5
