Right angle triangle so apply trigonometric identies.


\\ \tt\hookrightarrow cos\theta=(5)/(13)


\\ \tt\hookrightarrow cos\theta=0.37


\\ \tt\hookrightarrow \theta=cos^(-1)(0.37)


\\ \tt\hookrightarrow \theta=68.3

Answer:

θ = 67.4°

Explanation:

using the SOHCAHTOA method,

Here opposite is 12 cm, hypotenuse is 13 cm, adjacent is 5 cm.

Using the formula:


sin(\beta ) = (oppsoite )/(hypotenuse)


sin(\beta ) = (12)/(13)


\beta = sin^(-1)((12)/(13) )

β = 67.4°
