Imagine a triangle inside a circle going from the center to the circle and then down to the x-axis. As the radius of the circle (hypotenuse) approaches the x axis the side adjacent to the angle formed by the hypotenuse and the side on the x-axis both approach 1. When the side opposite the angle at the center approaches zero it gets closer and closer to 1/1. When it is zero then the cosine and secant ARE 1.

What is a reciprocal trig function?

A reciprocal trigonometric function is the ratio of the reciprocal of a trigonometric function to either the sine, cosine, or tangent function. The reciprocal of the sine function is the cosecant function, the reciprocal of the cosine function is the secant function, and the reciprocal of the tangent function is the cotangent function. These functions are useful in solving trigonometric equations and graphing trigonometric functions.

Yes, there can be oblique lines in a triangle. However, there can only be oblique lines in a triangle if the triangle is considered to be a 'right' triangle.

What are the functions of an acute angle of a right triangle?

Any function whose domain is between 0 and 90 (degrees) or between 0 and pi/2 (radians). For example, the positive square root, or 3 times the fourth power are possible functions. Then there are six basic trigonometric functions: sine, cosine, tangents, cosecant, secant and cotangent, and the hyperbolic functions: sinh, cosh, tanh etc. These, too, are not specific to acute angles of a right triangle but apply to any number.
