From this we can see
#color(white)("XXXX")##sin(-pi/3) = -sqrt(3/2)#
#color(white)("XXXX")##color(white)("XXXX")##csc(-pi/3) = -2/sqrt(3)#

#color(white)("XXXX")##cos(-pi/3) = 1/2#
#color(white)("XXXX")##color(white)("XXXX")##sec(-pi/3) = 2#

#color(white)("XXXX")##tan(-pi/3) = -sqrt(3)#
#color(white)("XXXX")##color(white)("XXXX")##cot(-pi/3) = - 1/sqrt(3)#
