Given that tan x = 5/12, what is the value of sin x + cos x ?

A.

5/13

B.

7/13

C.

12/13

D.

17/13

E.

5/12

Correct answer is D

\(\tan x = \frac{opp}{adj} = \frac{5}{12}\)

\(Hyp^2 = opp^2 + adj^2\)

\(Hyp^2 = 5^2 + 12^2\)

= \(25 + 144 = 169\)

\(Hyp = \sqrt{169} = 13\)

\(\sin x = \frac{5}{13}; \cos x = \frac{12}{13}\)

\(\sin x + \cos x = \frac{5}{13} + \frac{12}{13}\)

= \(\frac{17}{13}\)
