#sin120=sqrt(3)/2#

#cos120=-1/2#

#tan120=-sqrt(3)#

#ctg120=-sqrt(3)/3#

#sec120=-2#

#csec120=(2sqrt(3))/3#

To calculate #sin120# and #cos120# you can use the reduction formula, which says, that

#sin(180-x)=sinx# and #cos(180-x)=-cosx#

Rest of the functions can be calculated as:

#tanx=sinx/cosx#

#ctgx=1/tanx#

#secx=1/cosx#

#csecx=1/sinx#
