Answer: D: 1/5
Explanation:
sinx = 5/13
this ratio is special; it is a 5-12-13 right triangle, (pythagorean triple).
there is also a formula to find tan(x/2); It is tan(x/2) = ±

the + or - sign is decided by the quadrant the half angle is in;
since x is in quad one, it is somewhere between 0 and pi/2. To find the half angles position, simply divide it; x/2 is somewhere between 0/2 and pi/4.
so its also in the first quadrant. Since tangent is positive in the first quadrant, we will take the positive answer:
One more thing. we need the cosx in our formula. cosx will be 12/13, since this is a special right triangle as we said before.
tan(x/2) =

tan(x/2) =

tan(x/2)=

tan(x/2) = 1/5
Option D is the answer :)
