To solve this problem, you can use the following diagram as a reference:

To determine the cosine of angle B, recall that in a right triangle:


cos\alpha=\frac{adjacent\text{ leg}}{hypotenuse}.

Therefore:


cosB=(36)/(85).

Rounding the solution to the nearest hundredth, you get:


cosB\approx0.42

Answer:


0.42
