Explanation:

Given that:-

  • Side AC measures 6 units
  • Side BC measures 9.5 units
  • Side AB measures 11 units

To find:-

  • The cosB as a decimal rounded to the nearest hundredth

We know that,


{ \bigstar \: { \underline{ \boxed{ \cos( \theta ) \: = \sf(adjecent \: side)/(hypotenuse) }}}}

Solution:


\longrightarrow \rm \cos(B) = (BC)/(AB)


\longrightarrow \rm \cos(B) = (9.5)/(11)


\longrightarrow \rm \cos(B) = (95)/(110)


\longrightarrow \rm \cos(B) = 0.8 63


\longrightarrow \rm \cos(B) \approx \: 0.9

Therefore:

  • Cos B equals 0.9
