tan(x/2) = sin(x) / { 1 + cos(x) } ----- (1) If sin(x) = 5/13, you can find cos(x) using the identity sin^2(x) + cos^2(x) = 1 and plug sin(x) and cos(x) into (1)
Or try this: the sine (x) = 5/13 That means sine (x) = opposite / hypotenuse The length of the third side squared = 13² - 5² = 144 Length of third side = 12 So, tan (x) = 5/12 (Not too sure about solving that for x/2 though.)
In the first quadrant, all trig functions are positive.
sin(x) = 5/13 cos(x) = sqrt( 1 - sin^2(x) ) = sqrt( 1 - 25/169) = sqrt(144/169) = 12/13 tan(x/2) = sin(x) / { 1 + cos(x) } plug in the numbers.
