Answer 1

C -
`(20)/(29)`

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: The cos(theta) would be 20/29.

First, we need to find the measure of the missing side in this right triangle. Let's use the Pythagorean Theorem.


A^2 + 21^2 = 29^2

Solving this gives an adjacent side value of 20.

Now, we can write the cosine ration of adjacent over hypotenuse.

Cos(theta) = 20/29
