Children were playing a game by making some right angled triangles on the plane sheet of paper. They assumed angles and their corresponding sides. They wanted to find all trigonometric ratio so they took a right angled triangle with two of its sides AC = 13 cm, BC = 12 cm and \( \angle ABC = 90^\circ \). They are unable to find trigonometric ratio. So help them to do so.
