You can put this solution on YOUR website!
if 0 is less than or equal to theta < pi/2 find sin theta and cos theta if cos theta is 5/13
***
sin theta=√(1-cos^2theta)=√1-(5/13)^2=√(1-25/169)=√(144/169)=12/13
sin theta=12/13
cos theta=5/13(given)
maybe you also meant find cot theta
cot theta=cos theta/sin theta=5/12
