Solution Steps

To find the six trigonometric functions of the angle \(\theta\) given a point \(\left(\frac{\sqrt{11}}{6}, \frac{5}{6}\right)\) on its terminal side, we can follow these steps:

  1. Identify the coordinates \(x = \frac{\sqrt{11}}{6}\) and \(y = \frac{5}{6}\).
  2. Calculate the radius \(r\) using the Pythagorean theorem: \(r = \sqrt{x^2 + y^2}\).
  3. Use the definitions of the trigonometric functions in terms of \(x\), \(y\), and \(r\):
    • \(\sin \theta = \frac{y}{r}\)
    • \(\cos \theta = \frac{x}{r}\)
    • \(\tan \theta = \frac{y}{x}\)
    • \(\csc \theta = \frac{r}{y}\)
    • \(\sec \theta = \frac{r}{x}\)
    • \(\cot \theta = \frac{x}{y}\)
Step 1: Identify the coordinates and calculate the radius

Given the coordinates \( x = \frac{\sqrt{11}}{6} \) and \( y = \frac{5}{6} \), we first calculate the radius \( r \) using the Pythagorean theorem: \[ r = \sqrt{x^2 + y^2} = \sqrt{\left(\frac{\sqrt{11}}{6}\right)^2 + \left(\frac{5}{6}\right)^2} = 1 \]

Step 2: Calculate the trigonometric functions

Using the definitions of the trigonometric functions in terms of \( x \), \( y \), and \( r \):

\[ \sin \theta = \frac{y}{r} = \frac{\frac{5}{6}}{1} = \frac{5}{6} \approx 0.8333 \]

\[ \cos \theta = \frac{x}{r} = \frac{\frac{\sqrt{11}}{6}}{1} = \frac{\sqrt{11}}{6} \approx 0.5528 \]

\[ \tan \theta = \frac{y}{x} = \frac{\frac{5}{6}}{\frac{\sqrt{11}}{6}} = \frac{5}{\sqrt{11}} \approx 1.5076 \]

\[ \csc \theta = \frac{r}{y} = \frac{1}{\frac{5}{6}} = \frac{6}{5} = 1.2 \]

\[ \sec \theta = \frac{r}{x} = \frac{1}{\frac{\sqrt{11}}{6}} = \frac{6}{\sqrt{11}} \approx 1.8091 \]

\[ \cot \theta = \frac{x}{y} = \frac{\frac{\sqrt{11}}{6}}{\frac{5}{6}} = \frac{\sqrt{11}}{5} \approx 0.6633 \]

Final Answer

\[ \boxed{\sin \theta = \frac{5}{6}} \]
