Answer:
Cos A = 3/5
Explanation:
Points to remember
Trigonometric ratios
Sin θ = Opposite side/Hypotenuse
Cos θ = Adjacent side/Hypotenuse
Tan θ = Opposite side/Adjacent side
From the figure we can see a right angled triangle, ABC
AC = 9, CB = 12 and AB = 15
To find the value of Cos A
Cos A = Adjacent side/Hypotenuse
= AC/AB
= 9/15 = 3/5
Therefore the value of Cos A = 3/5
