Its 5/12 you just divide sin by cos to get tan so divide 5/13 by 12/13 and you'll get tan

Answer: The ratio for
\tan x is
(5)/(12).

Step-by-step explanation: Given that


\cos x=(12)/(13),\\\\\\\sin x=(5)/(13).

The tangent of an angle is given by the sine of that angle divided by the cosine of that angle.

So, for any angle 'x', we have


\tan x=(\sin x)/(\cos x).

For the given values, the ratio of
\tan x can be calculated as follows:


\tan x=(\sin x)/(\cos x)=((5)/(13))/((12)/(13))=(5)/(13)* (13)/(12)=(5)/(12).

Thus, the ratio is given by


\tan x=(5)/(12).
