Answer: there are 8 quarters in the jar

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of nickels that is inside the jar.

The total number of coins inside the jar is 20.

Probability is expressed as

Number of possible or favorable outcomes/total number of outcomes.

The probability of selecting a nickel is 0.6. This is expressed as

0.6 = x/20

Cross multiplying, it becomes

x = 20 × 0.6

x = 12

Since there are 12 nickels inside the jar, then the number of quarters would be

20 - 12 = 8

To find cosine, use the formula cos = adjacent / hypotenuse.

According to angle B, adjacent of angle B is side A, and the hypotenuse is side c because the hypotenuse is always opposite the right angle.

Therefore, the cosine of angle B is a/c.
