Question

Given triangle EFG shown below, state the value of the cosine of angle G the hypotenuse which is also side EG = 53 side EF = 45 side GF = 28 F is a right triangle

Answer 1

`cos(G)=(28)/(53)`

Explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

we know that

In the right triangle EFG

`cos(G)=(GF)/(EG)` ----> by CAH (adjacent side divided by the hypotenuse)

substitute the given values

`cos(G)=(28)/(53)`
