Question

What’s the cosine of

Answer 1

Answer:

√23/√45 or √23/3√5

Step-by-step explanation:

Cosine is adjacent over hypotenuse. Angle W has an adjacent side of WU(√23) and WV .You know the adjacent but not the hypotenuse, so you will use the formula a^2+b^2=c^2 to find the hypotenuse. Plug in the sides for A and B -> (√23)^2+(√22)^2=c^2. Simplify it --> 23+22=c^2 --> 45=c^2. Solve for C alone (not c^2). √45=c. Then use the cosine formula (adjacent/hypotenuse) to plug in the numbers.
