If I am given a right triangle with legs 12 and 5, and a hypotenuse of 13, how to I find the complex number of e^(i*theta) in standard form a+bi? Theta represents the larger acute angle in this triangle. I don't understand because when I did tan^-1(12/5) on my calculator in radians, I get 1.176. But that's not right because it can't be made into a precise fraction and I have no idea how to put it in complex standard form

\(e^{i \theta} = \frac{5}{12} + \frac{13}{12} i\)

e^(1.176i) = (5 / 13)  +  (12 / 13)i

Oh yea, I forgot that e^{i \theta}= cos(\theta) +i sin(\theta). Thanks!
