Answer:
Sin Q = 5/13, Cos Q = 12/13
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : Tan Q = 5/12
Tan Q = PR/QR = 5x/12x
If ΔPQR is taken with the right angle being R, (as shown)
then using Pythagoras theorem, we get PQ² = PR² + QR²
PQ² = (5x)² + (12x)² = 25x² + 144x² = 169x²
∴ PQ = 13x
Now, Sin Q = PR/PQ = 5x/13x
Sin Q = 5/13
Cos Q = QR/PQ = 12x/13x
Cos Q = 12/13
