The value of cos X is 15/17. Option C
To determine the value of the identity, we need to know that the different trigonometric identities are listed as;
- sine
- cosine
- tangent
- cotangent
- secant
- cosecant
Now, the ratio for the cosine identity is expressed as;
cos X = adjacent/hypotenuse
From the diagram, we have that;
Adjacent = 30
Hypotenuse = 34
Substitute the values
cos X = 30/34
cos X = 15/17
