Question

If Tan A=5/12 then find cot A, cos A and Sin A

Answer 1

Cot A=1/tan A=12/5

cos A= 12/13

sin A=5/13

Draw a right angled triangle

the hypotenuse is the longest side which is 13 using Pythagoras theorem

the side opposite the angle A is 5

the side closest to the angle A which is called the adjacent is 12

sinA =opp/hyp

cos A= adj/hyp

cotA =1/tanA=cos A/sinA

Note: Pythagoras theorem is

hyp²=opp²+adj²

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$tan \ A = \frac{5}{12}=\frac{opposite \ site}{adjacent \ side}$

hypotenuse² = (opposite side)² + (adjacent side)²

                      =  5² + 12²

                      = 25 + 144

                      = 169

hypotenuse = √169 = √13*13 = 13

$Cot \ A = \frac{adjacent \ side}{opposite \ side}=\frac{12}{5}\\\\Cos \ A = \frac{adjacent \ side}{hypotenuse}=\frac{12}{13}\\\\Sin \ A = \frac{opposite \ side}{hypotenuse}=\frac{5}{13}$
