Question

Given cos x =12/13 And sin x = 5/13 what is ratio for tan x

Answer 1

Answer:  The ratio for $\tan x$ is $\dfrac{5}{12}.$

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that

$\cos x=\dfrac{12}{13},\\\\\\\sin x=\dfrac{5}{13}.$

The tangent of an angle is given by the sine of that angle divided by the cosine of that angle.

So, for any angle 'x', we have

$\tan x=\dfrac{\sin x}{\cos x}.$

For the given values, the ratio of $\tan x$ can be calculated as follows:

$\tan x=\dfrac{\sin x}{\cos x}=\dfrac{\frac{5}{13}}{\frac{12}{13}}=\dfrac{5}{13}\times \dfrac{13}{12}=\dfrac{5}{12}.$

Thus, the ratio is given by

$\tan x=\dfrac{5}{12}.$

Answer 2

Its 5/12 you just divide sin by cos to get tan so divide 5/13 by 12/13 and you'll get tan
