**Exercise: Trigonometric Functions with Right Triangles**

Consider the given right triangle with angles \(\alpha\) and \(\beta\). You are tasked to find the trigonometric values for the angles.

### Triangle Details:
- **Right Angle** at point \(L\)
- Side lengths: 
  - Adjacent to \(\alpha\) and opposite to \(\beta\): 20
  - Hypotenuse: 35

**Requirements:**

1. **Find the following trigonometric ratios:**
   - (a) \(\sin(\alpha)\) and \(\cos(\beta)\)
   - (b) \(\tan(\alpha)\) and \(\cot(\beta)\)
   - (c) \(\sec(\alpha)\) and \(\csc(\beta)\)

**Answer Boxes:**
- (a) \(\sin(\alpha)\) and \(\cos(\beta)\)
  - [_________]
- (b) \(\tan(\alpha)\) and \(\cot(\beta)\)
  - [_________]
- (c) \(\sec(\alpha)\) and \(\csc(\beta)\)
  - [_________]

**Notes:**
- Use the Pythagorean theorem or trigonometric identities to solve for missing sides or angles if needed.
- Recall basic trigonometric definitions:
  - \(\sin(\theta) = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{hypotenuse}}\)
  - \(\cos(\theta) = \frac{\text{adjacent}}{\text{hypotenuse}}\)
  - \(\tan(\theta) = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}}\)
  - \(\cot(\theta) = \frac{1}{\tan(\theta)}\)
  - \(\sec(\theta) = \frac{1}{\cos(\theta)}\)
  - \(\csc(\theta) = \frac{1}{\sin(\theta)}\)
