If [tex]\sin \alpha = \frac{12}{13}[/tex] and [tex]\cos \alpha = \frac{5}{13}[/tex], then [tex]\tan \alpha = ?[/tex]

sin α = 12/13 opposite/hypothenue cos α = 5/13 adjacent/hypothenue tan α = 12/5 opposite/adjacent

tan α is calculated to be 5 12 ​ , which represents the ratio of the opposite side to the adjacent side in a right triangle. This relationship is based on the definitions of sine and cosine. This understanding is fundamental in trigonometry.
