Answer:

The answer to your question is letter A. $\frac{5}{13}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Cosine is the trigonometric function that the adjacent side and the hypotenuse.

Formula

cos x = $\frac{adjacent side}{hypotenuse}$

For x:

Adjacent side = 5

Hypotenuse = 13

Substitution

cos x = $\frac{5}{13}$
