15/17. The value (ratio) of cos A is 15/17.

The trigonometric ratios of an acute angle are, basically, the sine, the cosine and the tangent. They are defined from an acute angle, α, of a right triangle, whose elements are the hypotenuse, the leg contiguous to the angle, and the leg opposite the angle.

-The sine of the angle is the opposite leg divided by the hypotenuse.

-The cosine of the angle is the adjacent leg divided by the hypotenuse.

-The tangent of the angle is the opposite leg divided by the adjacent leg or, which is the same, the sine of the angle divided by the cosine of the angle.

cos A = adjacent leg/hypothenuse = BC/AC = 15/17

What is the surface area of a sphere whose volume is 28811 ins , n

Lina20 [59]

Volume=(4/3)pir^3
volume=288pi
288pi=(4/3)pir^3
divid eobht sides by pi
288=(4/3)r^3
multiply both sides by 3/4 to clear fraction (4/3 times 3/4=12/12=1)
216=r^3
cube root both sides
6=r

surface area=4pir^2
surface area=4pi6^2
surface area=4pi36
surface area=144pi in^2
