Question

The classic 60° triangle has a hypotenuse of length 2, an opposite side of length √3 and an adjacent side of length 1....find the value of Cos(60°)

Answer 1

The trigonometric values for cos are C = A/H, which means that to find cos(60), you need to divide the adjacent side by the hypotenuse, which in this case gives you 1/2, so that is the value of cos(60).

I hope this helps!
