Question

In right ∆LMN, sin M = 0.759. What is cos N? A. 0.121 B. 0.241 C. 0.349 D. 0.651 E. 0.759

Answer 1

Answer:

E. 0.759

Step-by-step explanation:

You can take this right triangle to have a base length side LM , height of LN and a hypotenuse of MN

The sine of angle ∠LMN is 0.759, find the value of ∠LMN

$sin^-1(0.759)=49.38$

∠LMN=49.38°

Find angle ∠LNM

You know sum of angles in a triangle add up to 180°, given that this is a right-triangle, the base angle is 90° hence

∠LNM=180°-(90°+49.38°)

∠LNM= 180°-139.38°=40.62°

Find cos 40.62°

Cos 40.62°=0.7590
