I don't have the diagram — could you upload it or confirm which side corresponds to 5 and which to 13 relative to angle E?
Common interpretation: if 13 is the hypotenuse and the side of length 5 is the leg opposite ∠E, then the other leg is sqrt(13^2−5^2)=sqrt(169−25)=12, so
tan(E) = opposite/adjacent = 5/12.
(If instead the 5 is the adjacent leg to ∠E, then tan(E) = 12/5.)
