Answer:
cos ∅ = 80/89
Step-by-step explanation:
As required from the question the picture below represent a triangle UVW . The angle W = 90°. The sides WV = 39 , VU = 89 and UW = 80. The triangle forms a right angle triangle .
Such triangle one can establish trigonometric relationship using the SOHCAHTOA principle.
The question requested us to find the ratio that represent the cosine of ∠U.
The ∠U is represented as ∅ .
Therefore,
cos ∅ = adjacent/hypotenuse
adjacent = 80. The adjacent side is the non hypotenuse side that is next to the given angle.
hypotenuse = 89 . Hypotenuse is the longest side of a right angle triangle and it opposite the right angle.
cos ∅ = adjacent/hypotenuse
cos ∅ = 80/89
