Answer:

Cos <B = 3/5

Explanation:

Find the diagram attached

From the diagram, we have;

Hypotenuse BC = 80

Opposite to <B = AC =64

Adjacent AB = 48

According to SOH CAH TOA identity

Cos theta = adjacent/hypotenuse

Cos<B = AB/BC

Cos <B = 48/80

Express in its simplest form

Cos <B = (16*3)/(16*5)

Cos <B = 3/5

Hence the ratio of cos<B in its simplest form is 3/5
