Answer: The required ratio would be
8:17.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

∠O=90°,

MO = 15, (Perpendicular)

ON = 8, (Base) and

NM = 17 (Hypotenuse)

So, we need to find the cosine of ∠N.

As we know that


\cos N=(Base)/(Hypotenuse)\\\\\cos N=(8)/(17)

Hence, the required ratio would be
8:17.
