It means that 0 < theta < pi/2 radians or 90 degrees.

Since theta is in the second quadrant, sin(theta) is positive. sin2(theta) = 1 - cos2(theta) = 0.803 So sin(theta) = +sqrt(0.803) = 0.896.
The angles in quadrant one measure between 0 degrees and 90 degrees. In radians, that's between 0 and pi/2. Quadrant one is the quadrant where both X and Y (or cosine theta and sine theta) are positive.
If tan theta equals 2, then the sides of the triangle could be -2, -1, and square root of 5 (I used the Pythagorean Theorem to get this). From this, sec theta is negative square root of 5. It is negative because theta is in the third quadrant, where cosine, secant, sine, and cosecant are all negative.

Since sin(theta) = 1/cosec(theta) the first two terms simply camcel out and you are left with 1 divided by tan(theta), which is cot(theta).
