In the triangle shown below, the ratio for cos A is

Answer 1

Answer: OPTION A= 8/17

The ratio for COS A for the given triangle is '8/17 '

Explanation:

To find the cosine (cos) ratio for the acute angle A, we need to use a formula i.e., C AH which means 'Cosine is Adjacent over Hypotenuse'.

Mathematically,

Cos(A) = Adjacent / Hypotenuse

According to the question, the adjacent side is 8 and the hypotenuse is 17. By putting these values in the above equation the ratio becomes,

Cos(A) = 8/17

Answer 2

A)
`(8)/(17)`

Explanation:

`\displaystyle \cos\theta=\frac{\text{Adjacent}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}=(8)/(17)`
