If the cos θ = 5/13 and tan θ = 12/5, what is sin θ?

Answer:
[tex]\frac{12}{13}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the trigonometric identity
tan x = [tex]\frac{sinx}{cosx}[/tex] ( multiply both sides by cos x )
sin x = tan x × cos x, that is
sinΘ = tanΘ × cosΘ
= [tex]\frac{12}{5}[/tex] × [tex]\frac{5}{13}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{12}{13}[/tex]
