All two other basic ratios can be defined in terms of sine, as follows:cosine = sqrt(1 - sine2)
and then
tangent = sine/cosine.
You need to know the quadrant of the angle to determine whether these ratios are positive or negative.
The cosecant, secant and cotangent ratios are simply reciprocals and so easily derived from the above definitions.

How do you work out sin angles in trigonometry?
You could try the series sin(x) = 1 - x/1! + x^3/3! - x^5/5! + ... but you would soon need a calculator. And if you're using a calculator you may as well use it to find the sine.
