Quantum Clebsch-Gordan coefficients and the first type quantum Racah coefficients of quantum sl(2) enveloping algebra are given explicitly. The quantum 3-j and 6-j symbols, similar to those in the theory of angular momentum are abo introduced. The solution Rqj1j2 of quantum Yang-Baxter equaton is expressed in terms of the quantum Clebsch-Gordan coefficients. It is shown that when j1=j2, Rqjj is just the same as RAWj matrix obtained by Akutsu and Wadati for the representation of the braid group. The second type quantum Racah coefficients, which are the solutions of the face models, are also computed explicitly and related to the first type quantum Racah coefficients. The famous pentagonal relation is proved from the formula between two quantum Racah coefficients. The graphical representation of those formulas is discussed.
