Answer:


\cos(T) =
(√(15))/(5)

Explanation:

Given parameters.


TU = 4\sqrt 5


SU = 4\sqrt 2


ST = 4\sqrt 3

Required

Determine
\cos(T)

Reference to
\angle T, we have:


Opposite = 4\sqrt 2


Adjacent = 4\sqrt 3


Hypotenuse = 4\sqrt 5

Apply trigonometry ratio of cosine


\cos(T)
= (Adjacent)/(Hypotenuse)

Substitute values for Adjacent and Hypotenuse


\cos(T)
= (4\sqrt 3)/(4\sqrt 5)


\cos(T)
= (\sqrt 3)/(\sqrt 5)

Rationalize:


\cos(T)
= (\sqrt 3)/(\sqrt 5)*(\sqrt 5)/(\sqrt 5)


\cos(T) =
(√(15))/(5)
