Question

In triangle xyz what is the cosine ratio of angle x

Hypotenuse is 7.5
Opposite of angle x is 6

Answer 1

Data:
Hypotenuse is 7.5
Opposite of angle x is 6

Cosine = Side opposite (S.O) the angle on the hypotenuse (h)

We have:


`Cos (\alpha)x = (S.O)/(h)`

`Cos (\alpha)x = (6)/(7.5)`

`\boxed{Cos (\alpha)x = 0.8}`
