Give the exact value of the six functions of the angle theta whose terminal side passes through the point.

(2/3,5/2).

I can not figure out how to relate this to the unit circle. I would appreciate any input.
Thanks in advance,
 
Please review you post.
Have you given the correct point?
If so, the answers are quite messy.
 
exact values of six functions

That is the correct location. (2/3,5/2)

That is probably why I am struggling so mightily with this question. Any input wouls help.
 
\(\displaystyle \L
\begin{array}{l}
r = \sqrt {\left( {\frac{2}{3}} \right)^2 + \left( {\frac{5}{2}} \right)^2 } = \frac{{\sqrt {241} }}{6} \\
\cos \left( \theta \right) = \frac{x}{r},\quad \sin \left( \theta \right) = \frac{y}{r}\quad \& \quad \tan \left( \theta \right) = \frac{y}{x} \\
\end{array}.\)
 
Thanks for the assistance that was very helpful. Now I feel silly for having stuggled with that one. Thanks again!
