Question

Look at the triangle:What is the value of cos x?8 divided by 1717 divided by 815 divided by 178 divided by 15

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation: To solve this question let's remember the following trigonometry functions given a right triangle

`\begin{gathered} sin\theta=(opposite_(side))/(hypotenuse) \\ cos\theta=(adjacent_(side))/(hypotenuse) \\ tan\theta=(opposite_(side))/(adjacent_(side)) \end{gathered}`

Step 1: Now let's identify the sides of our triangle as follows

Step 2: Now we are able to use the trigonometry function to find con x° as follows

`\begin{gathered} cosx°=(adjacent_(side))/(hypotenuse) \\ cosx°=(15)/(17) \end{gathered}`

Final answer: So the final answer is 15 divided by 17.
