Step-by-step explanation:

So first thing is to determine which trigonometric ratio we use here. Theta is adjacent to 5 and 8 is the hypotenuse, so we should be using Cosine.

So we set up the equation

cos θ = adj/hype

cos θ = 5/8

θ = $cos^{-1} (5/8)$

θ=51.3178125...

θ=51°

Answer:

$\frac{5}{12}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given problem is a subtraction problem between fractions. The first step in a problem like this is to convert both fractions to a common denominator. In other words, multiply both the numerator and denominator of a fraction by the same value such that the denominator of one of the fractions is the same as the other fraction. The numerator of a fraction is the value over the fraction bar, whereas the denominator is the value under it. Multiplying any fraction by a number over itself is the same as multiplying it by one, thus, the equation will remain true, and be equivalent to the original expression.

$\frac{13}{12}-\frac{2}{3}$
