Find the value of each of the 6 trig functions

**Exercise: Trigonometric Functions Calculation**

*Objective*: Find the value of each of the six trigonometric functions for the angle \(\theta\) in the given right triangle.

**Given**:
- \(a = 10\)
- \(b = 7\)

**Instructions**:
1. Simplify your answer, including any radicals. Use integers or fractions for any numbers in the expression.
2. Enter your answer in the answer box and then click 'Check Answer'.

**Diagrams and Detailed Steps**:

The diagram shows a right triangle with:
- The side opposite angle \(\theta\) labeled as \(a\).
- The side adjacent to angle \(\theta\) labeled as \(b\).
- The hypotenuse can be calculated.

To find the hypotenuse (\(c\)) of the triangle, use the Pythagorean theorem:
\[ c = \sqrt{a^2 + b^2} \]

Calculate \(c\):
\[ c = \sqrt{10^2 + 7^2} = \sqrt{100 + 49} = \sqrt{149} \]

Now, calculate each of the six trigonometric functions:

1. **Sine function (\(\sin \theta\))**:
\[ \sin \theta = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{hypotenuse}} = \frac{a}{c} = \frac{10}{\sqrt{149}} \]

2. **Cosine function (\(\cos \theta\))**:
\[ \cos \theta = \frac{\text{adjacent}}{\text{hypotenuse}} = \frac{b}{c} = \frac{7}{\sqrt{149}} \]

3. **Tangent function (\(\tan \theta\))**:
\[ \tan \theta = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}} = \frac{a}{b} = \frac{10}{7} \]

4. **Cosecant function (\(\csc \theta\))**:
\[ \csc \theta = \frac{1}{\sin \theta} = \frac{\sqrt{149}}{10} \]

5. **Secant function (\(\sec \theta\))**:
\[ \sec \theta = \frac{1}{\cos \theta} = \frac{\sqrt{149}}{
