Answer:

cos(C) =\frac{40}{41}\\\\cos(C)=0.976

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the cos (C) we must use the cosine theorem.

The cosine theorem says that:

c^2 = a^2 +b^2 -2abcos(C)

In this case:

c=AB = 9

b=CA = 41

a=BC = 40

So

9^2 = 40^2 +41^2 -2(40)*(41)cos(C)

9^2- 40^2- 41^2 =-2(40)*(41)cos(C)

cos(C) = -\frac{9^2- 40^2- 41^2}{2(40)*(41)}

cos(C) =\frac{40}{41}\\\\cos(C)=0.976
