sin θ=
cos θ=
tan θ=

my answer is
c^2 = a^2 +b^2
c^2 = 5^2+12^2
c^2 = 169
c= √(169)
c= 13

I know that sin θ= 5/13 but I don't know how to do tan θ and cos θ. can someone help me got tan θ and cos θ.

Answer 1

draw that hypotenuse in, 13
sin = opposite / hypotenuse = 5/13
cos = adjacent / hypotenuse = 12/13
tan = opposite/adjacent = 5/12

Answer 2

ok thank you Damon, I understand now
