Solution:
Given,
tan θ = \[12/13\] …….. \[\left( 1 \right)\]
We know that by definition,
tan θ = Perpendicular side opposite to ∠θ / Base side adjacent to ∠θ …… \[\left( 2 \right)\]
On comparing equation \[\left( 1 \right)\] and \[\left( 2 \right),\] we have
Perpendicular side opposite to ∠θ = \[12\]
Base side adjacent to ∠θ = \[13\]
Thus, in the triangle representing ∠ θ we have,
Hypotenuse AC is the unknown and it can be found by using Pythagoras theorem
So by applying Pythagoras theorem, we have
AC2 = \[{{12}^{2}}~+\text{ }{{13}^{2}}\]
AC 2 = \[144\text{ }+\text{ }169\]
AC2 = \[313\pi \]
⇒ AC = \[\surd 313\]
By definition,
sin θ = Perpendicular side opposite to ∠θ / Hypotenuse = AB / AC
⇒ sin θ = \[12/\text{ }\surd 313\ldots ..\left( 3 \right)\]
And, cos θ = Base side adjacent to ∠θ / Hypotenuse = BC / AC
⇒ cos θ = \[13/\text{ }\surd 313\text{ }\ldots ..\left( 4 \right)\]
Now, substituting the value of sin θ and cos θ from equation \[\left( 3 \right)\] and \[\left( 4 \right)\] respectively in the equation below
Therefore,
