Expert Solution
Step 1

NOTE: Refresh your page if you can't see any equations.

.

in the unit circle, x=\cos \left(\theta \right),\:\:\:\:y=\sin \left(\theta \right)

the point \left(x,\:y\right)=\left(\frac{5}{13},\:y\right) is on the unit circle 

so here we have

x=\frac{5}{13}

now take x=\cos(\theta)

\cos(\theta) =\frac{5}{13}
