This is a classic Pythagorean triangle.

Although you have given the side lengths, you have NOT given a letter to correspond , with the given side.

However,

Let 12 be the adjacentr side (base)

Let '5' be the opposite side ( perpendicular )

Let '13' by the hypotenuse.

Sin(Angle) = opposite / hypotenuse = 5/13

Angle = Sin^(-1) 5/13 = 22.619... degrees. NB This is the angle between the hypotenuse and the base(adjacent)

Now 'swopping' things around , we take the angle between the hypotenuse and the perpendicular (opposite) . This now becomes perpendicular(adjacent) and the base becomes the opposite.

Hence

Sin(angle) = 12/13

Angle = Sin^(-1) 12/13 = 67.380.... degrees. The angle at the 'top' of the triangle.

Verification. ' 90 + 67.380... + 22.619... = 180 ( allow for calculator decimals).

What is the cos of angle 'a' with the measurements 5 13 12?

Use Cosine Rule a^(2) = b^(2) + c^(2) - 2bcCosA Algebrically rearrange CosA = [a^(2) - b^(2) - c^(2)] / -2bc Substitute CosA = [13^(2) - 12^(2) - 5^(2)# / -2(12)(5) CosA = [ 169 - 144 - 25] / -120 Cos)A) = [0] / -120 CosA = 0 A = 90 degrees (the right angle opposite the hypotenuse)/ However, If 'A' is the angle between '12' & '13' then 'a' is the side '5' Hence (Notice the rearrangement of the numerical values). CosA = [5^(2) - 12^(2) - 13^(2) ] / -2(12)(13) CosA = [ 25 - 144 -169] / -312 CosA = [ -288[/-312 CosA = 288/312 A = Cos^(-1) [288/312] A = 22.61986495.... degrees.


What is sin M written as a simplified fraction?

Sin(M) = 15/39 Simplified Sin(M) = 5/13 44Because '3' is a common factor to both '15' ( 5 x 3) & 39' ( 13 x 3) . So cancel down (reduce/simplify) by '3'.


A straight trail with a uniform inclination of 13 leads from a lodge at an elevation of 1000 feet to amountain lake at an elevation of 6000 feet what is the length of the trail to the nearest foot?

SOHCAHTOAThis would be the sine, the opposite over the hypotenuse.5000/h=sin 30 degrees5000 divided by sin 30 degrees= trail


When a man walks 5m towards east and turns right and moves 12m the magnitude of his displacement is 13m how?

Pythagoras. The right turn is assumed to be 90 degrees, and moving southwards. This forms the two shorter sides on a right angled triangle. They applying Pythagoras. h^)2) = 5^(2) + 12^(2) h^(2) = 25 + 144 h^(2) = 169 Don't forget to 'square root' both sides!!!! Hence h = sqrt(169) = 13 . This is a classic Pythagorean triangle.

What is the sin of angle b if the angle is opposite of the hypotenuse which is 13?

Unanswerable numerically: insufficient information described ambiguously. Is the angle 13 degrees or the hypotenuse 13 units long? Sin [angle] = Opposite / Hypotenuse where these are the sides, and you need to know the lengths of both to determine the angle.
