As both
T and
W determine terminal points in the fourth quadrant, we know that both angles fall between
270^\circ and
360^\circ. We also know that
0<\cos x^\circ<1 for
270<x<360, and that
\cos x is strictly increasing along this interval.

This means that the angle with the larger cosine value must be closer to having a measure of 360 degrees than the angle with the smaller cosine value, so
W>T.
