From the given right-angled triangle, we have the following:

Hypothenuse side = 13

Opposite side = 12

Adjacent side = 5

Solution

The trigonometric ratio of cos B can be found using the relationship:


\cos \text{ B = }(Adjacent)/(Hypothenus)

By substituting, we have:


cos\text{ B = }(5)/(13)

Hence, the answer is 5/13 (option C)
