Answer:

79/156

Explanation:

we know that cosx is the adjacent side over the hypotenuse.

hence, we can find the opposite side using the pythagorean theorem.

sqrt(13^2 - 5^2)

therefore, the opposite side is 12

opposite: 12

adjacent: 5

hypotenuse: 13

not that cot is adjacent over opposite while sin is opposite over hypotenuse.

So,

12/13 - 5/12

the answer is 79/156
