Let's rotate the triangle with respect to ∠A as the focused angle and add the given details:
Recall the standard formula of a Tangent Function:
[tex]\text{ Tangent \lparen}\theta)\text{ = }\frac{\text{ Opposite Side}}{\text{ Adjacent Side}}[/tex]
Thus, with respect to the problem, Tangent A is:
[tex]\text{ Tangent \lparen A\rparen = }\frac{\text{ 5 }}{\text{12}}[/tex]
Therefore, the answer is CHOICE C : 5/12
