Question

Given cos x = 12/13 and sin x = 5/13
What is ratio for tan x?

Answer 1

Answer :

• cos x = 12/13
• sin x = 5/13

we know that

• tanx = sin x /cosx

so

$\rm \pink{ \tan(x) = \frac{ \sin(x) }{ \cos(x) } } \\ \\ \tan(x) = \large{\frac{\frac{5}{ \cancel{13}} }{ \frac{12}{ \cancel{13}}}} \\ \\ \tan(x) = \frac{5}{12}$
