Using the pythagorean identity, we can find the value of sin(A)

cos^2(A) + sin^2(A) = 1
(12/13)^2 + sin^2(A) = 1
144/169 + sin^2(A) = 1
sin^2(A) = 1 - 144/169
sin^2(A) = 169/169 - 144/169
sin^2(A) = (169 - 144)/169
sin^2(A) = 25/169
sin(A) = sqrt(25/169)
sin(A) = 5/13

Which is then used to find tan(A)

tan(A) = sin(A)/cos(A)
tan(A) = (5/13) divided by (12/13)
tan(A) = (5/13)*(13/12)
tan(A) = (5*13)/(13*12)
tan(A) = 5/12

The final answer is 5/12

Find the measure of ∠C if
V125BC [204]
(32x+20) + (72x+20) + (52x+40) + (32x+10)=180 \\ 32x+72x+52x+32x +20+20+40+10 =180 \\ 188x+90=180 \\ -90  \\ 188x=90 \\ /188 \\ x=0.478

then 52(0.478)+40 \\ 24.856+40=64.856

∠C = 64.856
