Answer:

12/13

Explanation:

we know this is a right triangle, and we know that the hypotenuse is the longest side. so we can already say that the hypotenuse of the triangle is DF or 78.

when you draw it out, you find that the shortest leg is 30 and the second is 72 and the hypotenuse is 78. we also know that cosine is adjacent/hypotenuse. once you draw the triangle and notice which side is adjacent to angle F, just fit it into the formula and you get:

cos F = 72/78

cos F = 12/13
