The value of cos θ in the given figure is 0.98.

<h3>What is cosine of an angle?</h3>

The cosine of an angle is defined as the sine of the complementary angle.

The complementary angle equals the given angle subtracted from a right angle, 90.

cos θ = sin(90 - θ)

For example, if the angle is 30°, then its complement is 60°

cos 30 = sin(90 - 30)

cos 30 = sin 60

0.866 = 0.866

<h3>Cosine of an angle with respect to sides of a right triangle</h3>

cos θ = adjacent side / hypotenuse side

adjacent side of the given right triangle is calculated as follows;

adj² = 10² - 2²

adj² = 100 - 4

adj² = 96

adj = √96

adj = 9.8

cos θ = 9.8/10

cos θ = 0.98

Thus, the value of cos θ in the given figure is 0.98.
