Without using tables or calculator.

sine A = 8/√233

cos A = 13/√233

How to find other trigonometry functions

Tan A = opposite / adjacent

Sin and cos requires hypotenuse and the hypotenuse will require Pythagoras theorem

hypotenuse² = opposite² + adjacent²

where

opposite = 8

adjacent = 13

hypotenuse² = 8² + 13²

hypotenuse² = 64 + 169

hypotenuse² =233

hypotenuse = √233

sine A = opposite / hypotenuse

sine A = 8/√233

cos A = adjacent / hypotenuse

cos A = 13/√233
