Cho alpha thỏa mãn cos alpha  = 12/13

Đáp án đúng là: B

Ta có: \[{\sin ^2}\alpha + {\cos ^2}\alpha = 1 \Rightarrow {\sin ^2}\alpha = 1 - {\cos ^2}\alpha = 1 - {\left( {\frac{{12}}{{13}}} \right)^2} = \frac{{25}}{{169}}.\]

\( \Rightarrow \sin \alpha = \pm \frac{5}{{13}}.\)

Vì \(\frac{\pi }{2} < \alpha < \pi \Rightarrow \sin \alpha > 0 \Rightarrow \sin \alpha = \frac{5}{{13}}.\)
