The ratio is 3:4:5.

Cosine by definition, is adjacent divided by hypotenuse, meaning that the value of the hypotenuse is 5. Then, we are given two other sides that are adjacent to angles A and B, which are 4 and 3 respectively.

This means that there are side lengths 3, 4, and 5, meaning that the ratio of the sides are 3:4:5.

Hope this helps.

頑張って!
