Answer:

2.4

Explanation:

This is a right-angled triangle:

where:
Side XY = hypotenuse

= 13 units


With respect to Angle X:

Side YZ = opposite side

= 12 units

Side XZ = adjacent side

= 5 units

Trigonometric function:

Tan∅=
(opposite)/(adjacent)

∴TanX =
(SideYZ)/(SideXZ)

=
(12)/(5)

= 2.4
