Answer:

C. 5/12

Explanation:

Finding the missing side :

  • Opposite side² + Adjacent side² = Hypotenuse²
  • (5)² + Adjacent side² = (13)²
  • Adjacent side² = 169 - 25
  • Adjacent side² = 144
  • Adjacent side = √144
  • Adjacent side = 12

Taking the tan ratio :

  • tanθ = opposite side / adjacent side
  • tanθ = 5/12
