Evaluating six trigonometric functions of a right triangle

The video tutorial explains the concept of cosecant in trigonometry, starting with its definition as the hypotenuse over the opposite side. The instructor demonstrates how to construct a triangle using given values and applies the Pythagorean theorem to find the adjacent side. The tutorial covers the relationships between trigonometric functions and their reciprocals, including sine, cosine, and secant. It concludes with calculations of tangent and cotangent, emphasizing the importance of understanding these functions in different triangle configurations.
