Answer:

cos M = 38 / 63

Explanation:

SOH - CAH - TOA

is how I remember the calculations,

S - sin

C - cos

T - tan

(o = opposite side ; a = adjacent side ; h = hypotenuse)

SOH would be sin = opposite/hypotenuse

CAH means cos = adjacent / hypotenuse

Okay, so looking at the angle M, we know the hypotenuse [63] and the adjacent value [38]

From this, (only having H and A), we can only find the cos of M

(without finding additional numbers, which we could do with the Pythagorean theorem)

So, the cos of M is adjacent/hypotenuse

cos M = 38 / 63

(I didn't try to find other measurements of the triangle here because the most simple measurements [that were already there] worked/was an option)
