Answer:

A,
(5√(74))/(74)

Explanation:

Cosine of an angle is equal to the adjacent side of that angle over the hypotenuse of the triangle. Since the adjacent side is 5, and the hypotenuse is √74, the value is 5 / √74.

However, we can't have radicals (square roots) in the denominator, so we multiply the top and bottom by √74 so that the radical goes on the top.
