Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Triangle UVW is a right angle triangle.
From the given right angle triangle,
UV represents the hypotenuse of the right angle triangle.
With ∠V as the reference angle,
VW represents the adjacent side of the right angle triangle.
UW represents the opposite side of the right angle triangle.
To determine VW, we would apply Pythagoras theorem which is expressed as
Hypotenuse² = opposite side² + adjacent side²
37² = 35² + VW²
1369 = 1225 + VW²
VW² = 1369 - 1225 = 144
VW = √144 = 12
To determine Cos V, we would apply trigonometric ratio
Cos θ = opposite side/hypotenuse. Therefore,
Cos V = 12/37
Cos V = 0.32
