The image shows "Find sin⁡θ=513\sin \theta = \frac{5}{13}". This appears to be a given statement, and the actual question (what to find) is missing. I will assume you need to find the angle θ\theta and the other primary trigonometric ratios, cos⁡θ\cos \theta and tan⁡θ\tan \theta.

Finding θ\theta

  1. Use the inverse sine function.

    Given sin⁡θ=513\sin \theta = \frac{5}{13}.

    θ=arcsin⁡(513)\theta = \arcsin\left(\frac{5}{13}\right)
  2. Calculate the angle.

    θ≈22.61986∘\theta \approx 22.61986^\circ

    Rounding to one decimal place:

    θ≈22.6∘\theta \approx 22.6^\circ

    The angle θ\theta is approximately 22.6∘\boxed{22.6^\circ}.

    Finding cos⁡θ\cos \theta

  3. Use the Pythagorean identity.

    The identity is sin⁡2θ+cos⁡2θ=1\sin^2 \theta + \cos^2 \theta = 1.
    Substitute sin⁡θ=513\sin \theta = \frac{5}{13}:

    (513)2+cos⁡2θ=1\left(\frac{5}{13}\right)^2 + \cos^2 \theta = 1 25169+cos⁡2θ=1\frac{25}{169} + \cos^2 \theta = 1
  4. Solve for cos⁡2θ\cos^2 \theta.

    cos⁡2θ=1−25169\cos^2 \theta = 1 - \frac{25}{169} cos⁡2θ=169−25169\cos^2 \theta = \frac{169 - 25}{169} cos⁡2θ=144169\cos^2 \theta = \frac{144}{169}
  5. Solve for cos⁡θ\cos \theta.

    cos⁡θ=±144169\cos \theta = \pm\sqrt{\frac{144}{169}} cos⁡θ=±1213\cos \theta = \pm\frac{12}{13}

    Assuming θ\theta is an acute angle (in the first quadrant), cos⁡θ\cos \theta is positive.

    cos⁡θ=1213\cos \theta = \frac{12}{13}

    The value of cos⁡θ\cos \theta is 1213\boxed{\frac{12}{13}}.

    Finding tan⁡θ\tan \theta

  6. Use the identity tan⁡θ=sin⁡θcos⁡θ\tan \theta = \frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta}.

    Substitute the known values of sin⁡θ\sin \theta and cos⁡θ\cos \theta:

    tan⁡θ=5131213\tan \theta = \frac{\frac{5}{13}}{\frac{12}{13}}
  7. Simplify the expression.

    tan⁡θ=512\tan \theta = \frac{5}{12}

    The value of tan⁡θ\tan \theta is 512\boxed{\frac{5}{12}}.
