Answer: \large\boxed{Cos(\theta_(1) )=(84)/(85)}

Explanation:

Thinking about a triangle in Quadrant IV, we can imagine sin as opposite/hypotenuse. Therefore, the hypotenuse is 85 and the opposite angle is -13. To find the adjacent angle, we use the pythagorean theorum,


a^2+b^2=c^2


-13^2+b^2=85^2


169+b^2=7225


b^2=7056


b=√(7056)


b=\pm84

Taking only the positive number, the adjacent angle is 84

Now that we have all 3 sides, we can find the cosine.

Cosine is adjacent/hypotenuse

Therefore,


Cos(\theta_(1) )=(84)/(85)
