If 13 cos θ = 5,
.
Given: 13 cosθ = 5
![]()

We know that,
![]()
![]()
Let AB =5k and BC = 13k
In right angled ∆ABC, we have
B2 + P2 = H2
⇒ (5k)2 + P2 = (13k)2
⇒ P2 + 25k2 = 169k2
⇒ P2 = 169k2 – 25k2
⇒ P2 = 144k2
⇒ P =√144k2
⇒ P = ±12k
⇒ P = 12k [taking positive square root since, side cannot be negative]
