Question

If cosx= 5/13, find the value of tanx

Answer 1

Answer:

tanx = 12/5

Step-by-step explanation:

If we have a right triangle where cosx=5/13, this means that the adjacent side is 5 and the hypotenuse is 13.

With the Pythagorean Theorem, we find that the opposite side is 12.

cosx=adjacent/hypotenuse

tanx=opposite/adjacent

From this, we see that

tan x = 12/5
