Answer:

A: Three-fifths

Explanation:

I have attached an image to depict this question.

We can see that the point at which the radius goes on the unit circle is a coordinate (x, y)

We are told this coordinate is (0.6, 0.8)

Now, in these type of unit circle diagrams;

x = cos θ and y = sin θ.

Thus;

cos θ = 0.6

cos θ = 6/10

Simplifying gives;

cos θ = 3/5
