Question

Look at the triangle: A right angle triangle is shown with hypotenuse equal to 17 centimeters. An acute angle of the triangle is labeled as x degrees What is the value of cos x°? (1 point) 8 ÷ 17 17 ÷ 8 15 ÷ 17 8 ÷ 15 I can't put in the photo. So, description. h- 17cm o- 8cm a- 15cm. This is a right triangle btw. (this is 9th grade work)

Answer 1

15 ÷ 17

Explanation:

Since our hypotenuse side is 17 cm, our opposite side is 8 cm and our adjacent side is 15 cm. Since the acute angle is x degrees,

From trigonometric ratios, cosx° = adjacent/hypotenuse

= 15 cm/17 cm

= 15/17

= 15 ÷ 17
